Record budget for EA to tackle pollution
Western Daily Press
|July 09, 2025
THE water watchdog has been handed its largest ever budget for tackling pollution, the Government said.
The Environment Agency, which inspects and prosecutes water firms over environmental damage, will receive a cash injection of more than £189 million this financial year of 2025/26, ministers announced on Tuesday.
This is up from £161 million for 2024/25, £115 million for 2023/24 and £114 million in 2022/23, according to Government figures. The increase comes as part of wider Government efforts to crack down on polluting water firms following years of underinvestment in infrastructure and environmental measures.
The Environment Department (Defra) said the money will help to fund more enforcement officers, improved equipment and the latest technology.
