Thames Water seeks court approval for emergency cash Thames Water is hoping to secure an emergency cash injection or face runing out of money in weeks.

High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow another £3bn.

Already has £17bn debt, mostly to fund dividends, wants 53% price hike.

Nearly a third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills.

Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise at nominal price.

Would be a shame if this Express poll didn’t go they way they hoped…

Don't bear the cost of inquiry. No clawback of pay. Retired on fat pension.
