Money Down the Drain?
' There's such an air of mystique, it's more like Watergate than water rate! ' In this week's look at a public industry through the eyes of the consumer, two worried ratepayers go and try to sort some things out with their local Water Authorities.
Graham Smith from Northumberland feels they are faceless bodies spending ratepayers' money to build their empires. Les Hamilton from Cambridgeshire is a green-grocer in a shopping arcade where everyone is bewildered by the way their bills are assessed. ' The system's wrong,' says Les.
Local Government Minister, Tom King , MP, who has recently announced a reorganisation of the Water Industry, talks to Les and Graham about how the changes he proposes could help them.
