Fair deal for churches & sports clubs

John Pugh MP asks for “Fair Deal for Southport’s churches and community sports clubs

Your local Liberal Democrats have joined John Pugh MP in his call for the Government, the Water Regulator (OFWAT) and Water Companies to recognize the significant community and charitable role of churches, places of worship and sports clubs urging them to ensure that for the purpose of levying water charges these addresses are not treated as though they are commercial or business properties.

Currently United Utilities are proposing a moratorium on the new charges for churches and community sports clubs. As John explains “This moratorium might just be a postponement of execution but there may be the possibility of a permanent concession or dispensation. However, whatever happens, community sports clubs need to apply to be included in the moratorium this year.”

If you would like further information on the above please contact John Pugh MP on 01704 533555
