GB News: Ofwat to be abolished after rising bills and Thames Water scandal as regulator 'loses public trust'
The UK government plans to abolish Ofwat, the water regulator for England and Wales, following a review led by Sir Jon Cunliffe. This decision is driven by public outcry over sewage spills, rising bills, and financial issues within major water companies, particularly Thames Water.
Cunliffe's review suggests creating a new regulatory framework to restore public trust and address inefficiencies in the current system. Critics argue that Ofwat has failed to manage the sector effectively since its inception in 1989. The proposed changes aim to better serve customers and protect the environment.
