Financial Support in Numbers
The pilot program conducted in Wandsworth and Richmond has already shown significant results. More than 1,800 households received a total of £650,000 in financial support.
Community Impact and Leadership Support
Simon Hogg, the Labour leader of Wandsworth Council, emphasized the importance of this initiative. He stated, “It’s important that residents receive the help they are entitled to.” With automatic adjustments, over 1,000 households in Wandsworth will benefit from reduced water bills.
This program is critical for families facing economic challenges as they deal with rising living costs. By easing the financial burden of water bills, Thames Water aims to support vulnerable communities in London.
