UNITED UTILITIES CHARGES FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP
21.07.2008


Hoyle, Lindsay

That this House expresses concern at the decision by United Utilities to introduce a new method of calculating surface water charges and highways drainage services, known as Site Area Charging; recognises the negative impact this will have on churches and places of worship which, in some cases, will now face increases in their charges in excess of £1,000 per year as they are being treated in the same way as all other non-household customers; and calls on United Utilities to review the decision to impose Site Area Charging on churches and places of worship which cannot afford such huge increases in their water bills.
