Jason Mohammad takes your calls on water bills, the World Cup and Wales Nature Week.

The Phone In

Available for 28 days

Would you pay much more for your water bills, if it meant things getting fixed a lot quicker? Or would you rather a smaller rise, and things take longer to get sorted? That's the choice that new Dwr Cymru boss Roch Cheroux says we need to make. Water bills in Wales increased by 27% from April last year. "The reality is that the only money we have… is the bills our customers are paying," Cheroux said. The World Cup has become clouded in controversy, after the USA striker Folarin Balogun had a suspension delayed by FIFA. Balogun was meant to be suspended for last night's key clash against Belgium due to a red card he received in the prior game, but FIFA delayed his suspension by a year and allowed him to play. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump confirmed yesterday that he personally asked FIFA to review the decision as he "didn't think it was a foul". FIFA President Gianni Infantino insists the judicial bodies making the decision were independent. UEFA say the outcome "crossed a red line" and that the decision leaves the "integrity of the game... at stake". So should politicians ever become involved in sporting decisions? And finally, this week is Wales Nature Week! This year, the theme is 'In Your Neighbourhood'... So whether it's a local park, beach, wood or mountain... Where in your neighbourhood do you go to escape to nature? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
