The state of our rivers has been a growing public concern –with water companies coming under increasing pressure to clean up their act.

Shropshire campaigners have been pressing for action and accountability over the state of the River Severn, but one leading protester says she remains sceptical over whether water firms can meet public expectations, while still operating for a profit.

She said she believes that firms understand the anger over the issue, but is still doubtful over whether they can resolve the concerns. "But I believe they are frightened of water companies being taken back into public ownership and they are talking about long term planning as a result – but still wanting to make a profit."

Mrs Kirby also referenced a leaked e-mail from Severn Trent boss Liv Garfield calling on other UK utility firms to position themselves as “social purpose” companies to appease the Labour Party and head off any future threat of being taken into public ownership.
