True, but they class that as National infrastructure and a Public asset..
A reservoir is Regional infrastructure, and a Private asset belonging to the Water Company. It would be like Tesco deciding to put a Petrol forecourt on your front lawn whilst ignoring your protestation.
Water should never have been privatised, but criticisng the Tories on this Forum is like signing your own death warrant…. Re-Nationalising it would be a mistake in my opinion, it should remain regionalised but put into Public ownership and all profit retained within the region that generates it.
im not critisising the tories.........water belongs to the people...it is our right...we need it to live...........it should be classed as a national/peoples asset...we all agree that a charge needs to be made to us........only for the development and maintenance of our water asset....................NOT FOR RICH GREEDY SCUMBAGS TO GET RICHER

The water bailiff issue is a unique problem to your locality so wouldn’t dream of commenting due to my lack of knowledge on the issue..
Reservoirs, the lack of, is certainly an issue but it is not limited to the cost of them. For the sake of this discussion lets say money is not a limiting factor, so we are left with:
Where do we put this impounding reservoir?
How do we elminate / reduce the environmental impact of it when we do find somewhere to put it?
Central funding ( we all pay, why should we? ), or regional funding ( only those that benefit pay )? Remember it is not just the building cost, it’s the cost of the land needed to create the reservoir, along with the compensation for the displaced people / communities / businesses.
Is there adequate water treatment infrastructure? Borehole water requires much less treatment as a rule.
Would you be happy to lose your home, or a family members home, to allow this to be built?
Should it be built outside of the region if that is the best location? Would that be fair?
These questions are just a small sample of the things to be considered, and the main reason why no ody has built one in such a long time…
they dont seem to have problems siteing HS2 and bloody motorways .....
i could go on but i will only get worked up

why not? Farming and other industries do
many many others have been poisoning our land at the same time..Ignoring the profit side of things as I totally agree with you on that score.. genuinely interested on what alternatives to ground water you believe we have?
part of the problem lays with the sacking/redundancies of all the water balliffs...who used to manage the locks and the flood plains and keep the rivers clear...the water was held back twice a year to control the water surges and to recharge the aquifers...which fed the rivers and streams and springs..................
all that has gone now...and with the refusal to build more reservoirs cause they cost alot of money.....the water companies just drill in to the aqifers and suck it out...
the water companies know this is damaging the environment...but its cheaper that way.....it is also the reason it is nealy impossible for farmers to get a liecence for a bore hole.........its all down to MONEY..............i could go on and on but i wont cause it upsetsme greatly
they get away with it cause young people dont know the history behind the ******* catastrope

Hey all!
I’m Bob,
I signed up ages ago but never posted, so here I am.I don’t game shoot, but appreciate what goes into it, i can also appreciate the atmosphere of being outside, cooking your own dinner that you shot and all that, im not against it but I wouldn’t do it.
Im a clay shooter, and regularly use Oakedge, but I’m yet to try Doveridge and Garlands got a few CPSA courses under me belt, but I’m not a competition shooter, that’s too intense for me, I shoot for fun not for score chasing.
I currently own the following guns;
Webley and Scott 912 O/U (12)
AYA yeoman O/U (12)
Baikal O/U (12) not sure on the model
Hatsan escort magnum S/A (12)
AYA Yeoman SxS (12)
Webley and Scott B/A (.410)
Investarm 100L O/U (.410)
I genuinly think I have a problem when it comes to guns and gun stuff, if I see something new or shiny I try my hardest to fight off the urge to buy it, but it never works!!
I will he posting up some pics of mine when I get a chance, and I want to be doing alot of wood work on most of them, strip them down, re-oil, new butt plates and all that.
I hope to meet some of you out and about 🤙
you seem to be normal and well adjusted sort of chap
