Campaigners Call for Bonus Ban on Water Bosses Over Sewage Spills

Campaigners are calling for an immediate ban on bonuses for water company executives if their firms cause environmental harm, such as illegal sewage spills into rivers. The UK's water companies have faced criticism over leaks and sewage discharges, and the regulator Ofwat is considering plans to ban bonuses for bosses found to have harmed the environment. The government hopes the policy will apply to bonuses for the next financial year, and there are calls for stricter measures to hold water companies accountable for environmental and customer service failures.
