The new Labour government's decision to review Ofwat marks an important first step in addressing Britain's water crisis. After years of sewage spills and crumbling infrastructure, there's finally recognition that fundamental reform is needed.The story of how we got here is painfully clear.
Even among Conservative voters, 85% think the economy needs more regulation. Across every region and demographic, people want strong protections for the things that matter in their daily lives.Labour now has a chance to channel this public appetite for change into real reform. While reviewing Ofwat is welcome, they could go further by replacing the Growth Duty with a Protection Duty that puts people and the environment first.
