Bridget calls for cleaner London water8.15.04pm GMT Mon 7th Mar 2005 Liberal Democrat environmental campaigner Bridget Fox is supporting Sarah Ludford's campaign for rapid action to tackle sewage pollution in the river Thames. Bridget says "Londoners are suffering from living with a 19th century water system in the 21st century. Islington residents are struggling with low water pressure and burst water mains - and every time it rains heavily, sewage flows into the Thames because the existing pipe network can't cope." Bridget Fox represents London boroughs on the Regional Environmental Protection Advisory Committee - meeting with the Environment Agency to lobby for a cleaner environment for London. Bridget is backing plans for a new main sewer - the Thames Tideway project - that would protect the Thames, keep London's water clean and allow increased pressure to restore water services locally. Bridget says "Thames Water have the technology - but we need the Labour Government to give the go-ahead so we can have the modern sewerage system that Londoners deserve."
