Our debate on Saturday 23 March will attempt to answer the question What can be done about the water industry?
While the privatised water companies continue to pay dividends to shareholders and bonuses to their bosses, the state of many of our rivers and beaches continues to deteriorate. Would renationalisation help?
Where will the money come from to replace our ageing and inadequate sewers and water mains?
Andrew McManus from Woking Environment Action (WeAct), and Angela Shaw, an environmental artist who is part of the Dirty Water Campaign, and Woking Borough Council’s Conservative leader Kevin Davis will open the discussion.
There will be ample opportunity for everyone to share their views and concerns about this important topic.
As before, the doors open at 10.30am for refreshments and the debate is from 11am to 12.30pm. Entry is free, with donations to help with running costs requested at the end.
The debates continue on Saturdays 27 April (Why is there still famine?), 25 May (Prison: are there more effective ways of reducing crime?) and 29 June (Why do we allow refugees into our country?)
This is the 12th year of the debates. Started by Woking Action for Peace (the area’s Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament branch), they are organised with the support of several local groups to encourage active participation in our community by looking at underlying issues facing us.
We believe that together we can find ways forward to a more equal, peaceful and united world.
