Motion text
That this House condemns the reckless mismanagement of Thames Water across North East Hertfordshire; recognises that residents in Buntingford have endured years of their homes being flooded with sewage; notes that households in Watton-at-Stone have suffered two decades of flooding, largely due to Thames Water’s persistent failure to repair defective infrastructure; further notes that local farmland, including Tewinbury Farm, has been contaminated with raw sewage, and that local rivers were swamped with sewage spills for thousands of hours last year; believes that Thames Water’s failure to provide even a basic level of service to North East Hertfordshire while charging extortionate prices, is unacceptable and has harmed quality of life and local businesses; and calls on the Government to compel Thames Water to address these longstanding local issues and hold this failing company to account, securing immediate improvements to services in North East Hertfordshire.
