The Evenlode Catchment Partnership returned £136,000 to Thames Water in March 2026 due to broken trust over pollution and greenwashing.
Members of the Evenlode Catchment Partnership returned £136,000 to Thames Water in March 2026, citing a broken trust over the company’s environmental record and 2025–2029 business plan.
The funds were part of a £3 million grant for a project to improve the River Evenlode’s health.
The group severed ties in March 2025 after repeated sewage spills—over 1,500 hours at Church Hanborough Sewage Treatment Works—and visible pollution, rejecting Thames Water’s offer to retain the money.
They criticized the company’s environmental claims as greenwashing, especially after a Channel 4 documentary exposed industry corruption.
Thames Water acknowledged river health is influenced by farming, industry, and weather, and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and catchment-based environmental progress.
