Blueprint response to the Government’s strategic priorities and objectives for Ofwat April 2017

Blueprint for Water is a unique coalition of environmental, water efficiency, fisheries and angling organisations and a campaign of Wildlife and Countryside Link. ‘We welcome the opportunity to engage with Defra on the Strategic Policy Statement (SPS) to Ofwat. We are pleased to see that, within the SPS, the environment is highlighted as vital in underpinning the resilience of the sector. A resilient sector will perform better and it is vital that improving and safeguarding environmental resilience be a top priority to underpin long-term resilience of the water sector. This approach will also meet the Government’s ambition to be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state. Therefore, we believe it is vital that Defra gives a stronger priority to ensuring a resilient environment be highlighted within the SPS.’ Click here to read more
