A campaign group working with Thames Water say they have been 'betrayed' by the company and will no longer accept funding from them
'Soaring energy bills mean I'm left with £40 a week to feed my three children'A campaign group working with Thames Water say they have been ‘betrayed’ by the company and will no longer accept funding from themhas been accused of betrayal after it appeared to reverse on a commitment to help clean up a popular river in the Cotswolds.
Rising near Moreton-in-Marsh in Gloucestershire, the River Evenlode encompasses a number of popular swimming spots on its journey through the Cotswolds towards Cassington in Oxfordshire, where it joins the Thames. The ECP recommended that Thames Water carried out phosphorus stripping upgrades at its sewage treatment works in the catchment area as part of its 2025-30 business plan.
Ann Berkeley, the ECP’s project manager, said: “Thames Water has repeatedly assured us that the required improvements will be made, but these are not present in the business plan. This is a betrayal of our trust and we no longer have faith in Thames Water’s assurances. “The last year has been an extremely challenging year for the business. As we set out in our full year results, our performance was impacted by inflation, which significantly increased costs for energy, chemicals and capital items, and the penalties we received as severe weather events impacted operational performance.
