Thanks to incredible demand and interest in this campaign, this will be our second briefing on the Water Bill. This briefing will cover the same information as our event on 3rd February, so no need to come to both. Spaces are limited, so book now to secure your spot!
England's water system is broken. Everyone knows that part. While private companies dump sewage into rivers and rake in billions in dividends, working people are left to pay the price for underinvestment.
The part we need a movement behind is: how do we fix it? Join Clive Lewis MP, Professor Ewan McGaughey, and the campaign team at Compass on 3rd February to find out.
On 28th March, we're taking a stand to give us a chance to decide to put the future of water back where it belongs: in public hands. With 82% of Brits backing public ownership, it’s time to listen.
Clive Lewis's Water Bill aims to spark a desperately needed national and democratic conversation on how we manage this vital resource in the face of climate, ecological, and democratic challenges.
Our campaign will bring economic democracy and the fight for climate adaption to the front and centre of the discussion about how we fix our broken water system.
Join Clive Lewis MP, Professor Ewan McGaughey and Compass campaign team in an interactive briefing to gain direct insight into Clive Lewis' Water Bill and learn how you can get involved.
About the Water Bill:
The Water Bill will:
- Set new targets and objectives relating to water, including in relation to the ownership of water companies and to climate mitigation and adaptation;
- Place requirements on the Secretary of State to publish and implement a strategy for achieving those targets and objectives;
- Establish a Commission on Water to advise the Secretary of State on that strategy
- Require the Commission to set up a Citizens’ Assembly on water ownership.
