(see pic 2 for a lovely canine surprise) 🐕

We've been out talking to the public in North Manchester about the cost of living, the rising price of water and how the current 💩 infrastructure has been affecting them - and what we're hearing is not good 👂😡

It's unacceptable that the people of the North West are being crushed under debt or having dirty water coming out of their taps 🤬

Have you been facing rising bills? Got any watery horror stories? Let us know so we can start fighting this together! Use this link to send us your stories:
