This is not about money, this is about doing the right thing for the people of Hull, which is why Yorkshire Water will not be paying out compensation.
Flood victims in Hull who suffered days of dirty water and sewage in their homes will not get compensation from Yorkshire Water.
The company was heavily criticised in an independent report into the cause of the flooding across the city in June.
But on Thursday evening the water firm confirmed it would not be paying out cash to those affected by the crisis.
Although the company’s charter promises a £100 payout, officials cite “extreme circumstances” for not paying out.
In a statement the company said: “This is not about money, this is about doing the right thing for the people of Hull, which is why Yorkshire Water will not be paying out compensation.
Hmmm, I suppose their logic is that if they pay out compo then they would have to increase prices for everyone next year thus not being the “right thing” Of course, the other option would be for the BigWigs to take a pay cut out of their (probably) very ample salary and pay the compo out of that……
