Campaigners call for a ‘seat at the table’ on Thames Water’s future outside court
Activists outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London take part in a demonstration to demand greater consultation on the crisis at Thames Water

CAMPAIGNERS held an “emergency board meeting” outside the Royal Courts of Justice today, calling for greater consultation on the crisis at Thames Water.

A table was set up outside the court in a stunt organised by We Own It and Compass, which called for the creation of an emergency board to provide public scrutiny and input on plans for the water privateer’s future. 

Campaigners suggested that such a board could be similar to that of publicly owned Paris Water, which includes local elected representatives, workers and civil society groups.
