Ofwat have disgracefully allowed Thames Water to raise prices this year alone by 40%

This price rise has been kept under the radar, not on any main stream news channels or news papers, it's not even on Thames Water's web site, they do say price rise but they don't mention the percentage. They have run their monopoly company into the ground, they are £19 billion id debt but still pay shareholders dividends, why. This company should go bankrupt but the so called regulator has done nothing apart from fining them every now and then and who pays for the fines, we do the bill bill payers. We can't choose our water suppliers so we have no option but to pay. What we need to do is to all choose not to pay our bills, put the money aside as we will have to pay in the end but Thames Water will go bankrupt only then will we get people in that might run the company for it's consumers not it's shareholders.

Why is this important?

The regulator is useless, they let Thames Water get away with polluting our streams, rivers and seas, all they do is fine them every now and then, they don't care because they still get paid. There's no incentive for change and they couldn't care less

I've filled in the petition form for the House of Parliament, have got enough signatures and now have to wait for their committee to see if it reaches their standards, this could take a few weeks so just have to wait. If it passes their standards then it will go live on the Houses of Parliament web site. Just have to wait. I think anyone can still sign by clicking on this link. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/718532/sponsors/new?token=7mjrkWAdQJ7cCeoGD3E9
