End regional monopolies in the water sector

Closed 56 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to end regional monopolies in the water sector and make them competitive and have to fight for custom by lowering their prices.
We think they are charging extortionate amounts at the moment.
Bills across the board are rising continually, yet we feel that water suppliers unlike gas and electric, can continue to do exactly as they like by having no competition.
