Fury on bill hikes for sewage

- Steph Spyro

'Windermere water plant should have been put right decades ago'

FEARGAL Sharkey has insisted households should not have to pick up the tab to fix sewage dumped in Lake Windermere.

Wastewater Campaigners said Ambleside Treatment Works, operated by United Utilities, has spilled effluent since at least 2018.

Now customers' bills could rise by £110 from next year until 2030 going from £443 to £553. The former Undertones frontman, 65, said: "The public should not put another penny anywhere near water companies.
