CronxWatch’s latest video report is out, taking a close look into the murky depths of monopoly supplier Thames Water.
From Thames Water’s company’s head office in Reading, to the much-polluted River Wandle, via the Croydon Water Tower, Cronxwatch tries to find out exactly why our bills are rising while our service deteriorates, and what the government is planning to do about it, as evermore sewage gets pumped into our rivers, streams and waterways.
CronxWatch is Croydon-centric video journalism with a YouTube twist. Think Brass Eye meets Private Eye, but for the internet age.
Founder and lead reporter David Weir says, “We mix long-form deep dives into national issues, seen through a local lens, with shorter reports into hyperlocal controversies.
“And all tackled with a much-needed sense of humour – because if you didn’t laugh, you’d cry.”

CronxWatch would be advised not to make “long-form deep dives” into a national issue, like the scandal of Thames Water and the other privatised water company crooks, because with their enthusiasm at pumping sewage into rivers at every opportunity, most of their water is very polluted, and absolutely NOT the place to go diving into !
