MP demands water boss resigns after three-day outage in Tunbridge Wells
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"An MP has called for the boss of South East Water to resign after thousands of homes, as well as many businesses in Tunbridge Wells, have been left without water for a third day in a row. Mike Martin, the Liberal Democrat MP for the Kent town, branded the situation an utter disgrace, and said vulnerable and elderly people were suffering as a direct consequence of the failure of leadership shown by the water company's chief executive, David Hinton. South East Water confirmed that supply problems in the Tunbridge Wells area were caused by a fault at the local Pembury Water Treatment Works."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech by sending reporters to develop stories and producing documentaries. Donations finance the ability to keep journalists on the ground and to publish without paywalls, making reporting accessible to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. An MP urged the resignation of South East Water's chief executive after a multi-day outage left thousands of homes and businesses in Tunbridge Wells without water. The outage resulted from a fault at the Pembury Water Treatment Works after a bad chemical batch shut the plant. South East Water says service has resumed but full supplies may not be normal until Tuesday as the system repressurises and airlocks are cleared, with up to 23,000 premises affected.
