Jemima Lovatt (CF 2025) has contributed analysis of the Independent Water Commission’s Final Report on Regulator Reform.
This report assesses regulatory inefficiencies in the UK water sector and proposes major structural changes, including abolishing Ofwat.
Her review highlights the report’s strengths in identifying fragmentation and governance gaps, while noting a lack of focus on public health, environmental protection, and safe access to nature. Jemima outlines steps for sector transformation, including a clear supervisory regulator, independent monitoring, stronger enforcement, and integration with wider infrastructure planning.
Her full analysis is available in Chapter 4.
