As part of continuing efforts to modernise and improve environmental regulation, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) are seeking views on the type of authorisation required for regulated activities in Scotland.

Wessex Water has set out its vision and priorities for a cleaner, more sustainable future – and told the Government that a new approach to regulation is needed if it wants to meet its bold commitment to improve the environment within a generation.

Wessex Water is warning that water and sewerage company regulation must be revolutionised now if the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan (25 YEP) is to meet its bold ambitions.

Wessex Water has published a new report setting out a new strategy developed in collaboration with Frontier Economics  which it says will revolutionise regulation of the water industry.
