END THIS DIRTY BUSINESS PROTEST 2026

OUR WATER INDUSTRY IS BROKEN

Private water companies are polluting our rivers and seas for profit, as exposed in Dirty Business.

March with us from Tankerton Lifeguard Hut to Swalecliffe Treatment Works to demand clean, reliable, public water.

Wear red and bring flags and banners.

Speeches from Feargal Sharkey and Dirty Business stars Ash Smith & Peter Hammond, plus more guests to be announced.

Why are we Protesting?

We are once again taking 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.
