Staff blow whistle on Environment Agency that ‘no longer deters polluters’

Exclusive: Officers say cuts and operational decisions have made England's regulator toothless'

Staff at England's Environment Agency say it has been cut back to such an extent that they cannot do their jobs and the regulator is no longer a deterrent to polluters.

Three officers at the EA have described to the Guardian and Ends Report how they are increasingly unable to hold polluters to account or improve the environment as a result of the body's policies.
