Two graphs about the #watercrisis tell you most of what you need to know....

If you were actually investing in #infrastructure you'd expect the water lost to leakage to steadily decline as repair & new pipes were deployed....

but there's been no real improvements... leaving the Q.

Where has all the money the water companies have borrowed gone?

#FeargalSharkey will have a pretty good idea where the money has gone (as do we all, to be fair)

So, the Govt. not satisfied with #water companies polluting rivers & beaches around Britain is now bowing to the #housebuilders who claim that previous environmental limits to housing developments to halt pollution from phosphates, nitrates & sulphates are to be abandoned to allow new developments near rivers & other water sources.

Another #Brexit freedom; previous restriction were EU & ECJ derived!

If our rivers are not dead already they certainly will be after this - call #FeargalSharkey!

Thank goodness for #FeargalSharkey

"..there is literally no street anywhere these days I can walk down without someone stopping me and saying: ‘Bloody hell, Feargal, keep going with what you are doing on the rivers.’ People go ballistic with rage when they start talking, all kinds of people, and why shouldn’t they? We put our trust in the system and the system has taken that trust and trashed it”

#FeargalSharkey is magnificent. His campaigning on protecting #rivers and pushing the noses of greedy water companies and weak #regulators & politicians into steaming sewage, is gratefully received. Great piece in #thetimes today
