I?m surprised no one has posted on this.
According to reports in Wednesday?s Guardian Lord Haskins in his report on Land management has recommended that a new agency should be set up to manage the land in England. It will be named the Land Management Agency (LMA). It will merge the Rural Development Services, English Nature in full, the Countryside Agency (Sec of State Becket not so keen on this one) and parts of Forestry Commission, British Waterways and Environment Agency.
Becket will not according to the report, guarantee the independence of the LMA from her dept. or Government.
The EA?s remit is to deals with pollution issues of Land, Air & Water in a holistic way. It is my guess is that it will be Land & Water that falls into the LMA. However, it has not been stated as yet which sections will go over.
Should we be concerned about a break up of the EA or not is my question?
