Conservatives pledge to scrap Environment Agency and Natural England
Original: Reaction: Conservatives pledge to scrap Environment Agency and Natural England
The Conservative Party has pledged to abolish the Environment Agency and Natural England if it returns to power, a promise drawn from reporting by New Civil Engineer. The proposal would dismantle the two main public bodies responsible for environmental regulation, flood protection and nature conservation in England, folding their functions elsewhere or cutting them entirely.
Why now: The pledge is provoking strong reaction from engineers, environmentalists and industry figures concerned about the loss of environmental oversight.
