Closing post
Time to wrap up….. here are today’s main stories:
Three water company bosses have given up their bonuses in an acknowledgment of the public anger over companies’ dumping of sewage in Britain’s rivers.
The chief executives of Yorkshire Water and Thames Water as well as the owner of South West Water have declined to accept bonuses this year.
Water companies have been criticised for raking in profits and their executives receiving large pay packets while sewage has regularly been released into Britain’s rivers and seas in large quantities.
Nicola Shaw, of Yorkshire Water, said she understood the “strength of feeling” on river pollution and had decided to refuse what would have been her first bonus since joining the company in May 2022.
