Come Clean on Water Charges

category antrim | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Thursday November 30, 2006 12:51author by Madigan Report this post to the editors

Isn't it strange that when in sniffing distance of getting back into power the local parties shy away from association with opposition to separate water charges. Is the thought of missing out on the double tax so hard to swallow. Maybe the truth is as suspected that all allong the likes of the DUP SF really agreed with the policy.

It's time local parties stated clearly where they stand. It is now quite straight forward. If you DON'T support non payment you DO support the water Charges. Non payment is the only way these charges will be defeated. It is time for DUP SF SDLP UUP make there position clear. If they support the charges have the decency to put it in their manifesto for the next elections. Conversly if they don't support and agree with the Governments proposals have the nerve to support the "We Won't pay campaign" What is also required is a firm statement of intent re the privatisation of the water department. Let's be clear these are issues the electorate won't stand to be fobbed off on.
This is a clear cross comunity issue (Maybe another reason the main parties are dragging their feet) They will have to start addressing the issues for real instead of just relying on the orange and green line. "Vote for me or else the other side will get in" They might have to start looking at what the electorate wants and not just working to their own agenda.
Remeber Don't pay twice for your water.
