CLPs are likely to be discussing motions for the London regional conference at their May meetings.

We note:
 Across the UK, rivers and natural waterways are a vital resource, essential for ecological diversity and leisure.
 Record levels of illegal sewage dumping in our rivers, lakes and seas inherited by the Labour government after 14 years of Tory failure.
 That despite this, only three people in the water sector have ever been prosecuted for environmental related crimes since privatization.
 The Conservatives failed to invest in broken infrastructure and let consumer money be spent irresponsibly on bonuses and shareholder payouts.
 The Conservatives also cut the Environment Agency (EA) budget by half since 2010, enabled by the Lib Dems while in coalition – leaving the EA powerless to crack down on polluting water companies.
 The Reform party manifesto did not mention sewage or the position of water companies.
 It is only with a Labour government in Westminster, that action on illegal sewage can be delivered.
We welcome the record £104m fine issued to Thames Water for environmental breaches and the new Water (Special Measures) Act 2025.
We believe the record shows that privatisation of water cannot provide for adequate investment and public service.
We call for the London Labour Party to campaign for public ownership and democratic control of Thames Water.

The first part of the draft is taken straight from the composite at 2025 Labour conference; the last two sentences sharpen the conclusion.
