We MUST build new reservoirs in Britain – or face rationing within a decade, warns water minister

British can be forced to share baths and only drink bottled water if no urgent action is taken to stimulate the water supply of the country, Environment Secretary Steve Reed warned in an interview with De Post on Sunday.

The announcement of urgent steps to make it more difficult to block new reservoirs, Mr. Reed said that a lack of investment could lead to rationing in the 2030s.

'You should plan when you put on the tap, or when you had a shower. It is already happening in some Mediterranean countries. Their water switches off at certain times of the day.

'We simply consider it a matter of course that you can switch on the taps and it comes out that clean drinking water will be created. We were confronted with a situation, thanks to the previous government, where that was no longer guaranteed. '

“We have not had a new reservoir in this country for 37 years, although the demand for clean drinking water was starting to exceed the question in the mid -20s, and we would look at rationing.”

Mr Reed Reed revealed new plans to take on green activists by limiting legislation to limit the number of legal challenges that they can offer to stop new reservoirs.

He said that building them is vital to achieve growth, but the planning of rules 'get in the way' and that decisions are then subject to long -term and repeated legal proceedings.

It can take up to 30 years to get permission for a new reservoir, but Mr. Reed wants to have built nine by 2050 – with the first complete by 2029.

At present, people can make three attempts to obtain permission from the courts to challenge the construction of reservoirs.

The Lord Reed wants to change the law to limit this to one attempt for things that are completely without merit and a maximum of two for the others.

The minister said that Labor's planning reforms will lower the hassle and accelerate approvals. He also wants to clean up the water of the land.

The Lord Reed, the MP for Streatham and Croydon North, gladly remembered as a child to the coast: 'We would go to the West Country, we would stay in a hotel or B&B, but you would like to go to the beach and play in the rock baths and splash in the water.

'We all remember those memories, and the frightening thing today is that if you speak to parents, their children will not make the same memories if they are not allowed to go into the water.

'If a large red flag flies, it means that it is contaminated with raw waste water. What a terrible thing to say to a child.

'I would love to be my legacy that we started cleaning up the water that was contaminated with record levels of raw waste water. I think that is a difference that we can make. That is important in politics that people can see visible change. '

This is not the first time that a Minister of Labor has spoken about sharing baths. In August 1976, during 200 years, during the driest summer of Great Britain, Denis Howell Minister of Drought was charged with convincing the nation to use less water.

He invited reporters to his house in Birmingham and revealed that he helped ration by sharing baths with his wife Brenda.
