Accountability within Public Bodies – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
I have spent over thirty years (since before the MWEFAS planning inquiry in 1992) saying that the EA could and should do better in design, construction, operation and maintenance. I do not knowingly have a problem with the small flood schemes but MWEFAS after 20 years still has unresolved issues. Furthermore and in my opinion the taxpayers should be getting a complete RTS project (including Channel One) and better value-for-money.
After Hillsborough, Grenfell, Horizon, Elizabeth Line, HS2 and Contaminated Blood Products – maybe somebody is actually asking the right questions at last? Time for dose of candour maybe?
