Mid Sussex is facing a critical water crisis, yet the Council plans to push through nearly 6,000 new homes. Forcing massive developments onto a failing network is reckless. Infrastructure must come first. Put the water security of current residents ahead of developers' targets. Freeze the approvals now.
We all know the frustration of turning on the tap only to get a weak trickle, or no water at all. Mid Sussex residents have endured days reliant on bottled water just to get by because our local infrastructure is already buckling.
Now, the Council wants to hook up thousands of new houses to this exact same failing network. It is unsustainable and unfair. If we do not stand up now, these water outages will become our permanent reality.
I am starting this petition because our community deserves water security before developers get green lights.
