At last “Action Man” does something but does “rebuilding trust” mean solving the sewage crisis or will it be nothing more than a PR exercise?
To see Exmouth beach with so few people enjoying it on a beautiful August day is extremely depressing.
This current event with South West Water needs to end asap. I’ve been clear with senior representatives from SWW that it’s their duty to provide accurate and timely updates to let locals and tourists alike know how repairs are progressing.
I will also be meeting with the CEO of SWW this week to call on her to bring forward structural engineering funds, and to get on with the job of upgrading their sewage network.
Because patience has been lost, I will spend time over the coming weeks and months with representatives from SWW, local activist groups and businesses, along with local councillors to start rebuilding trust.
Now is the time for action, not words. I have campaigned extensively to have SWW clean up our water, and now that I am elected I will be doing all I can to make this happen.
