Thames Water finances: This is a complete mess and its time the regulator blocked bill hikes

EMBARGO: Immediate release

Responding to Thames Water's latest financial reporting, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:

"This is a complete mess and it's time the regulator started blocking Thames Water's planned dividend payouts and eye-watering bill hikes. 

"Years of inaction from Conservative Ministers has lead to these bill increases and firms getting away with endless sewage dumps and insulting bonuses.

"It is clear the public want action to be taken to finally crackdown on this rogue firm. The government and regulator should listen to this call."
