Sewage protest outside Southern Water HQ
Bosses insist they're making improvements every day
Campaigners angry at sewage being pumped into the sea and rivers across the south are to protest outside the headquarters of Southern Water.
Bosses insist they are making improvements every day, with £600m being spent to improve the network this year alone.
But activists - who'll demonstrate outside the company's building in Worthing at lunchtime on Thursday 3rd November - say they've had enough.
A Southern Water spokesperson said: “We are aware of Unite’s demonstration.
"We recognise that there is a still long way for our industry to go, but here at Southern Water we have and continue to make improvements every day.
"We are spending £600m in 2022 to improve our network; and a further £350m on securing supply for our customers, including a new reservoir in Havant.
"We haven’t paid a dividend to shareholders since 2017, and are putting our money into improving our network and infrastructure and, in total, we plan to invest £2 billion (c. £1,000 per household) between 2020 and 2025.”
