@BrentToderian Sadly, our Local Authority Roads Departments across Scotland will not allow trees to be planted adjacent to roads as they feel the roots will impact on adjacent services within the ground. As an architect I show them images similar to the one you presented and they simply say no.
@cleanupbritain@CCNOffice@localgoveditors@KirstieMAllsopp They are bought by the contractor as part of the works contractor, paid by the local authority (us), so it doesn’t matter if they are removed, or left, because in the next contract they do, the cycle is repeated. As a result, not even their scrap value is of use to them.
We’re sick of it. 🤮
We’re sick of the lies. Sick of the greed. Sick of a system that’s rigged against us. Sick of rising bills, sick of sewage spills, and sick of empty promises.
Private companies cannot and will not prioritise public health or the environment over profit.
The Government promised us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change this, yet it's pushing through legislation without considering alternatives, trapping us in the privatised current system where pollution pays, and the public gets sick.
NOW is the time to rise up against corporate greed and demand our Government put an end to the profit-driven sewage scandal. That’s why we’re demanding that the government end the current privatised water industry and put public health first.
Sign the petition to tell Keir Starmer to take back control of water companies, restructure them and remove the profit motive, to ensure they operate for people and the environment.
No option, including public ownership, should be off the table. 📷 Sign the petition: https://t.co/VDXKMrGLAP
It’s time to put #PeopleBeforePayouts
Tonight, the dirty truth will be exposed in Channel 4 #DirtyBusiness at 9PM. Make sure you tune in. #EndSewagePollution #SewageScandal #SickOfIt #SickOfSewage #HeatherPreen
A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash.
The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.
