Eco Chamber

The Industrial Strategy: Will it really 'power Britain’s future'?

Listen on

Episode notes

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories and bring you up to speed on the latest developments in environmental policy.

This week, ENDS journalists are joined by Steve Coulter, head of economy at Green Alliance, as we review the government's new Industrial Strategy. The prime minister says it will "power Britain's future" but there are plenty of challenges ahead. 

We also find out what a new Environment Agency investigation means for the residents of Bentham -- the town in the UK with the highest known levels of PFAS in the UK.

PLUS: The water industry regulator Ofwat is being taken to court over its recent price review, DEFRA has updated its statutory guidance for the Farming Rules for Water, and a judicial review over controversial plans to build a £2.2bn reservoir in Oxfordshire is ready to be heard in the courts.
