Cornish born and bred Ben Maguire, newly elected MP for Bodmin, has already met Susan Davy and pressed her for rapid improvements in North Cornwall which he lists in detail, with regular update meetings.

He will be watching progress closely.

Nothing about acting as a “bridge” to improve customer relations.

Meanwhile Exmouth’s MP has only just joined the queue, though he has been incredibly busy, see below – Owl.

I had a constructive meeting with South West Water’s Chief Exec Susan Davy.  I explained the sewage scandal in our rivers and seas is unacceptable and must now be urgently addressed with actions not words. I also raised:

The need to improve their dire comms around the St Eval water shortage and reservoir repairs and the derisory £50 compensation scheme.

The urgent need to invest in storm overflows and vital infrastructure while freezing bills until our services improve.

The rising number of domestic leaks in private gardens and on public land which need addressing.

The impact of the government’s water company reforms on consumers and the need for competition in the water industry.

I pressed Susan and her team to urgently roll out these improvement works so we do not continue to see huge amounts of sewage dumped in our rivers and seas. They have agreed to work with me to ensure rapid improvements are made across North Cornwall and meet with me regularly to update on their progress so I will be watching closely.

In the meantime, Exmouth’s Action Man has had more important things to do!
