“Failed” efforts to tackle sewage pollution mean Wales’ water watchdog should be stripped of its role regulating the industry, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has said.

The water industry in Wales is covered by Welsh government agency Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the environmental regulator and Ofwat, the economic regulator.

Sir Ed said a “different system” should be drawn up to create a “more powerful” regulator.

    The wording of the title is really misleading. It sounds like they want to take powers away from regulators, but in the blob it says that they want to strengthen the regulators.
