South Wales Central MS and Former Welsh Conservative Senedd Leader Andrew RT Davies has repeated his calls for Welsh Government’s failed environmental regulator Natural Resources Wales to be closed and replaced, following a damning review into the water sector.
The independent Water Commission’s chair Sir John Cunliffe had strong words for the regulators, and said they must make sure private water companies “act in the public interest”.
Mr Davies said:
“This damning review proves what I’ve long said, that Natural Resources Wales is not fit for purpose.
“Five of the twenty most polluted rivers in Britain are located in Wales, a result of Welsh Government’s bloated environmental regulator being unable to cope with both its regulatory and commercial functions.
“NRW is far too big, and Labour Senedd ministers must intervene to ensure it’s closed and replaced.
