£11 million in fine from Water Companies reinvested to improve our waterways

Robert Courts MP

Great to hear news from the Government today that under ‘Our Plan for Water’ up to £11 million in fines collected from those water companies that have breached their strict permits will be directly reinvested into schemes to improve our waterways.  

This news comes on top of the recent Government announcement to ban bonuses for the bosses of water companies that have committed serious criminal breaches.  

This together with the news today of up to £11 million in fines reinvested for improvements is a very positive steps forward and something I have been campaigning on.
