The interview follows the launch today of the government’s landmark review of the water sector since privatisation, to provide a much needed ‘reset’.
Speaking to Darren McCaffrey on Business Live, Jon said: “The regulator needs to change its approach and prioritise unlocking the investment that is necessary to getting the sector back on its feet.”
“There has been some progress from the government, but more needs to be done to create a stable regulatory environment that attracts the necessary private investment. It’s not just about addressing short-term crises, but about building a long-term strategy that ensures the sustainability of the water sector.”
