C4's Dirty Business Drives Flood of New Boycotters to Take Action

Channel 4's shocking new drama about the scandalous state of the water industry has driven hundreds of outraged people to the BWB website this week.

Dirty Business is a three part drama based on the investigations into the sewage crisis by Windrush Against Sewage Pollution campaigners Ash Smith and Peter Hammond.

It also tells the real and harrowing stories of those whose lives have been ruined by sewage pollution, including eight-year-old Heather Preen who died two weeks after contracting ecoli from a beach in Devon.

The programme exposes the collusion between regulators and water companies at the heart of this crisis, and as a result we have welcomed hundreds of new visitors to the website this week.

'Every day, new people from all over the country are getting in touch to say they will join the boycott,' said BWB's Katy Colley.

'We have all had enough of companies putting profit before people. It it abundantly clear that privatisation has failed and that is why we see more and more people joining this movement, choosing to exert their power as consumers where it will have the biggest impact - on the bottom line.'
