Water Bills in Lancaster and Wyre

Contribution

I rise to present a petition on behalf of my constituents in Lancaster and Wyre who are concerned about Ofwat’s proposal to see water bills increasing by an average £19 a year between 2025 and 2030. The petition of residents of Lancaster and Wyre, Declares that residents in Lancaster and Wyre have been significantly impacted by the cost-of-living crisis; notes that Ofwat has proposed that bills should increase by an average of £19 per year between 2025 and 2030; and further declares that households are paying for the mistakes of the privatised UK water industry whilst company bosses are handed bonus payments. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to look into all appropriate measures to mitigate the impact of increases to water bills on households. And the petitioners remain (etc.) [P003003]
