Mims Davies MP said:
In the House of Commons, I intervened to raise 2 issues affecting residents including water outages and the continuous flies issue in Chailey and the surrounding areas.
Our insufficient water infrastructure, the lack of confidence in the resilience of the network, and the failure to plan adequately for drought conditions is not okay.
I asked the Minister whether it is acceptable for South East Water and Southern Water to remain separate organisations when customers are paying high bills but still facing service interruptions and uncertainty over accountability.
My residents deserve a reliable water supply, proper investment in infrastructure, and clear answers when things go wrong.
I will continue pressing both the water companies and the Government to deliver the improvements our communities need.
