Call for Sewage Tax on Anglian Water after £391 million profit revealed
Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have called for a 'Sewage Tax' on water companies to fund the cleaning up of rivers polluted by sewage dumps. This comes after new research revealed that water companies are discharging raw sewage into the River Great Ouse and other local rivers at an alarming rate, and the Conservative government have refused to do anything about it. The Liberal Democrats are calling for a tax on water companies huge profits to improve our sewage system, protect wildlife and save our rivers and lakes.
