The growing non-payment campaign against Southern Water “It cannot be right for criminal activity to be rewarded; for families to have been forced from beaches and out of the sea, for residents to have had to sweep sewage from a footbridge so that local children do not have to tread in excrement on their way to school, and for Southern Water and its shareholders to continue to make huge profits from all this … so I am therefore exercising my consumer rights by withholding payment to Southern Water.” – Julie Wassmer
