Southern Water has published a new plan (in map form), setting out the company’s long-term strategy to 2050 that will restore and protect the regions’ rivers and coastal habitats.

The first step is set out in the Business Plan for 2025-2030, which includes the single largest investment in the environment to date of £3.3 billion.

The company’s Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Gosden announced the plan on social media.
