- Communities to get a stronger say over billions of pounds of water investment
The government announced eight new regional water councils for England, bringing together local leaders, customers and businesses to shape investment in water and flood infrastructure. These councils will give communities influence over issues such as sewage, water quality, flooding, drought and future supplies, areas previously decided at a national level. Mayors will gain extra powers under an updated Water Bill to hold water companies accountable for performance. Local leaders have been asked to put forward proposals for running the new councils by the end of the year.
