2026: End this Dirty Business
In April 2025, we once again took to Whitstable beach to protest against the water industry, which continues to blight our community with sewage pollution, harming the environment, endangering public health, and damaging the local economy.
The Labour government, like the Conservatives before them, has been idle on this issue, failing even to deliver on the weak pledges in their manifesto. Meanwhile, water companies rack up debt, hand out dividends and bonuses, and carry on polluting our seas and rivers. Enough is enough. The industry needs a drastic overhaul, and we want to spark a national debate on returning water to public ownership, the only long-term solution to this crisis.
