Reply from United Utillities about the Kingfisher nest destruction
Dear Mike
I
believe one of my colleagues contacted you recently regarding one of
your tweets which claimed United Utilities had destroyed a kingfisher
nest.
The company has
comprehensively looked into this serious allegation and cannot find any
evidence which suggests the damage was caused by United Utilities. In
fact, we have not carried out any work at all on this private land.
One
of our land agents visited the location you gave us last week and found
the land belongs to a company called “Ineos” which has no links
whatsoever with United Utilities (see photo attached). It operates a
pumping station and water storage reservoir in the area. We in no way
claim Ineos is to blame for any environmental damage, but give you this
information to clarify United Utilities has played no role in this
incident.
I believe
you said some of the workers on site may have been wearing clothes
featuring the United Utilities logo – and this probably explains why you
mistakenly thought this was our work. This workwear issue is something
we are very annoyed about and will look into it further, as only our
employees or contractors working on our schemes should be wearing this
gear.
I’d be grateful
if you could remove the tweet from August 4. Also, we would appreciate
you making a further tweet which clarifies that after receiving further
information you now know United Utilities played no role in this
incident.
As you may
be aware, United Utilities takes its environmental responsibilities very
seriously. You can find out more about what we do here http://corporate.unitedutilities.com/corporate-responsibility-environment.aspx
Also,
as a wildlife enthusiast, we’d be very happy to show you our
Sustainable Catchment Management Programme (SCaMP), which is explained
in more detail on the website and is a good example of the good work we
do on land we own. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll ask our
catchment team to arrange this.
A load of BS and rubbish if you ask me and passing the buck as United Utilities vehicles have also been seen in the area it's good that United Utilities let these company's who they have nothing to do with use there clothes and cars.
Hmmm reply is being written as I finish this blog...
