 edie news centre - Water company fined again as public faces price hike
Following negotiations between Thames Water and the EA to find solutions to the UK's ailing water systems last month (see related story), the Government this week approved the company's proposed price hikes, which it claims will enable new pipes to be laid and significant improvements to be made.
Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, Dee Doocey, said she felt that Thames Water had no excuse not to find the funds to mend leaky pipes or stop raw sewage being pumped into rivers when they were "paying huge salaries to their directors" and turning over massive profits every year.
However, Thames Water spokesman Chris Shipway told edie the company had been putting at least one third of its profits back into developing its systems since it was privatised in 1989, and that it frequently borrowed money to fund improvements.

But a statement released by the LDA said the figures could be explained by "the transformation in the size of the LDA and the growing scope and complexity of its activities over the last three years".

It also called for the tube to run later at weekends; more supervised taxi ranks to ensure drinkers get home safely; safe waiting areas in outer London for people seeking minicabs; and employing more town centre managers as well as improving CCTV and street lighting.
The committee's chairwoman, Dee Doocey, said: "The needs of residents and visitors who want to enjoy the city at night must be balanced with the right to enjoy a good quality of life in the capital."
The Conservative's culture spokeswoman, Theresa May, yesterday warned that introducing the new licensing laws, which will allow the sale of alcohol round the clock, before dealing with binge drinking would only increase alcohol-related disorder.
