GMB has responded to a major review into England and Wales' troubled water sector, published today
Gary Carter, GMB National Officer, said:
“The Cuncliffe report lays bare what GMB has said for years - water privatisation has been a disastrous failure.
“Our rivers and waterways have been fouled, while bills rocket and fat cat bosses get rich.
“Meanwhile the water infrastructure crumbles through lack of investment.
It’s a disgrace - and one Ofwat has overseen.
“Now is the time to fundamentally reform the water sector and renationalise this vital resource.”
