Dwr Cymru Redundancies – Workers Paying to Price for Systematic Leadership Failures
Responding to the news that Dwr Cymru will cut 500 jobs over the next two years, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:
“Workers are now paying the price for systematic leadership failures over many years at Dwr Cymru.
“While Dwr Cymru’s CEO received remuneration of £892,000 in 2021 alone, the leadership team at Dwr Cymru presided over some of the highest levels of sewage dumping in the entire UK, extremely high levels of leaking pipes and wasted water and soaring bills for Welsh customers.
“I’m extremely concerned about what these job cuts will mean for tackling all of these issues. It is as clear as day that we need to end the wild west that is the water industry and introduce regulation with real teeth to get on top of these issues.”
