The blog was delighted to hear in today’s budget that the Chancellor announced help for South West Water customers. SWW customers pay for the upkeep of 30% of England’s coastline, even though they account for only 3% of the population. They have some of the highest water bills in the country and were due to face a 5.1% increase in April.
The announcement by the Government will help to reduce the inequality and is welcomed. But an announcement like this may have unintended consequences, it will certainly increase the focus on water bills.
