  1. Quote from the Times its GROSS Pay packages for water industry bosses soared by a fifth (20%) on average last year, despite the companies overseeing hundreds of thousands of sewage spills. The average remuneration for executives at ten firms in England and Wales climbed to £1.1 million in 2021-22, up by £193,000 on average. The increase prompted accusations of a “national scandal” given the state of the country’s rivers. Collectively, executives across the sector were paid almost £25 million. The Times revealed this week that several water firms, including Northumbria Water and United Utilities, had lobbied to weaken the government’s £56 billion plan to clean up storm overflows. Analysis of Companies House data by the Liberal Democrats, who are calling for a ban on bonuses for water bosses, found significant increases in base pay, bonuses and pension contributions.
