England’s water system is in crisis. Bills continue to skyrocket. Water companies are on the edge of bankruptcy. Sewage is dumped into our waterways. Experts warn that we’re woefully underprepared for the challenges posed to our water supply by the climate crisis. What hope is there?
Join North East Compass via Zoom at 6:00pm on June 25th where we’ll hear about Our Water Our Way, Compass’ campaign for public and democratic ownership of water, discuss the water crisis in our region and ask ourselves: what would a resilient water system look like and what other models of ownership and governance could deliver it?
We’ll be joined by Lena Swedlow, Campaigns Manager at Compass and author of the recent report Our Water Our Way: A Democratic Case for Public Ownership of Water, with other speakers to be confirmed, and… most importantly, yourselves!
