You can read the People’s Commission Report that sets out the evidence on why public ownership is critical to the future security of our water here
Who we are
We are grassroots campaigners deeply rooted in our local communities, working to save our rivers, lakes, and seas from sewage pollution. As the founders of the current massive public storm, our coalition consists of the forerunners in the fight against sewage pollution—passionate community members dedicated to safeguarding rivers, lakes, and coastlines.
We have not been captured – we don’t take money from government, regulators or the water companies; we are truly independent. We take pride in our integrity.
To save our local waters, we’ve had to step up to challenge the entire water system, campaigning to get the law enforced. We are also mobilising hundreds of community campaign groups like ours, providing briefings and educational sessions, and supporting the practicalities of water testing, campaigning and lobbying.
Each group within the network operates independently, but we speak as one, channeling the public's outrage at pollution for profit.
Clean Water for All:
Wildlife and people have a right to clean, safe water. Sewage pollution endangers public health, ecosystems and biodiversity.
Accountability and Transparency:
We demand transparency from water companies and regulatory bodies. The industry must be held accountable for the environmental damage caused by sewage spills and mismanagement.
What we stand for
Environmental Protection:
Our priority is to defend local habitats and wildlife threatened by sewage discharge and other pollutants.
Community Action:
We support local communities to raise awareness and take action. By using evidence, uniting voices, and working together, we secure lasting change for our rivers, lakes and seas
The Network
The network is powered by passionate local groups and individuals who share a common commitment to protecting our waterways from the onslaught of pollution for profit. Each member brings unique expertise, united by a shared goal of preserving the health of our rivers, lakes and seas.
Our President is Feargal Sharkey.
