Modern part of historical Northampton Guildhall goes up for sale
The coroner's service, based in the building's modern extension, has moved to the old part of the Guildhall, which remains with the council.When the council was set up in 2021, it inherited a range of buildings including the Victorian gothic Guildhall of 1864 and the 21st Century Forum in Towcester.
Arnull, said: "After a comprehensive review of the council's office space and property portfolio, there is an opportunity to better utilise these spaces while also reducing ongoing costs to the public purse. "The Guildhall holds significant importance in both the town's and county's history and its historic part, originally from 1864 with a seamless extension in 1892, forms an integral part of the council's collection of heritage assets."He added the price of the building was not being made public as it may "harm the ability of the council to secure the best deal".

New ‘integrated regulator' should replace Ofwat and drive ‘fundamental reform' of the water sector, review finds
Update: Date: 2025-07-21T05:56:48.000Z Title: Commission recommends new integrated water regulators to replace Ofwat Content: One of the Independent Water Commission's most important recommendations is the creation of a new integrated water regulator for the sector in England, and a single water regulator in Wales. These new body would replace Ofwat, the criticised regulator which the Guardian reported on Friday was to be abolished. The new integrated regulator in England would combine the functions of Ofwat, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, as well as taking on the water functions from the Environment Agency and Natural England. The commission says this could 'significantly strenthen' oversight of water companies, arguing: A single regulator would be able to oversee all operations of a water company from all angles and come to a 'whole firm view' of performance issues and compliance failures – some of which may interrelate and may not have been adequately understood in the current model, where cooperation between regulators is limited. This could deliver greater accountability in the regulatory framework with one organisation and one board responsible and accountable for the outcomes of the sector. It could also mean 'more joined-up approach to regulation overall', allowing issues to be tackled faster and more effectively. There would also be increased accountability for delivery, as well as reduced regulatory burden by simplifying water company and stakeholder interactions with regulatory bodies, the Commission suggests. A more joined-up, coherent and streamlined approach to regulation could also benefit investor confidence, the Commission suggests, adding: Although a merger inevitably presents uncertainty in the short-term, in the long-term it should create greater stability overall for the regulatory system – establishing the clear and objective conditions necessary to attract investment. Update: Date: 2025-07-21T05:55:52.000Z Title: Introduction: Independent Water Commission pushes for 'fundamental reform' Content: Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy. England and Wales's water industry requires 'fundamental reform' to address the problems that have dogged the sector, a new review has found. A new official report into the water sector, just released, is recommending a swathe of new meaasures, including new regional water authorities with responsibility for 'integrated and holistic water system planning'. The Independent Water Commission has found that a fundamental 'reset' of the water sector is needed, to raise standards across the industry, in a 465-page report which just landed. Sir Jon Cunliffe, the former civil servant and central banker who led the Commission, is warning this morning that 'no single, simple change' will fix the water industry, which has been beset by under-investment, rising pollution incidents, soaring customers billd and meaty shareholder payouts. Cunliffe says: This sector requires fundamental reform on all sides – how we manage the demands on water, how the system is regulated, how companies are governed and how we manage the critical infrastructure on which we all rely. He also calls for 'a long-term, cross-sector strategy for water', explaining: It may sound academic, but it is profoundly important. A clear set of national priorities for water – covering the water industry, agriculture, land-use, energy, transport, housing development – is essential. Without it, we will continue to be dogged by inconsistency, short termism, unintended consequences and risk willing the ends without ever fully understanding the means required. Cunliffe's report has 88 recommendations in total, which include: a long-term, cross-sector strategy for water. the modernisation of the legal framework for water regulatory changes, including a new integrated regulator for water greater transparency in areas such as operator self-monitoring and scrutiny of water company reporting the introduction of a single social tariff, to improve affordability and customer service Changes to the economic regulation of water companies, including 'a company-specific supervisory function' that would feed into the current price review structure New national resilience standards for infrastructure, to help guarantee the maintainance of underground pipes and other water and wastewater assets

'Broken' water industry set to be overhauled - nine key recommendations from landmark report
The system for regulating water companies in England and Wales should be overhauled and replaced with one single body, a major review of the sector has advised. It has recommended abolishing regulator Ofwat as well as the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), which ensures that public water supplies are safe. The report, which includes 88 recommendations, suggests a new single integrated regulator to replace existing water watchdogs, mandatory water metering, and a social tariff for vulnerable customers. The ability to block companies being taken over and the creation of eight new regional water authorities with another for all of Wales to deliver local priorities, has also been suggested. The review, the largest into the water industry since privatisation in the 1980s, was undertaken by Sir Jon Cunliffe, a career civil servant who oversaw the biggest clean-up of Britain's banking system in the wake of the financial crash. He was coaxed out of retirement by Environment Secretary Steve Reed to lead the Independent Water Commission. • Single integrated water regulators - a single water regulator in England and a single water regulator in Wales. In England, this would replace Ofwat, the Drinking Water Inspectorate and water-environment related functions from the Environment Agency and Natural England • Eight new regional water system planning authorities in England and one national authority in Wales • Greater consumer protection - this includes upgrading the consumer body Consumer Council for Water into an Ombudsman for Water to give stronger protection to customers and a clearer route to resolving complaints • Stronger environmental regulation, including compulsory water meters • Tighter oversight of water company ownership and governance, including new powers for the regulator to block changes in water company ownership • Public health reforms - this aims to better manage public health risks in water, recognising the many people who swim, surf and enjoy other water-based activities • Fundamental reset of economic regulation - including changes to ensure companies are investing in and maintaining assets • Clear strategic direction - a new long-term National Water Strategy should be published by both the UK and Welsh governments with a "minimum horizon of 25 years" • Infrastructure and asset health reforms - including new requirements for companies to map and assess their assets and new resilience standards In a speech responding to Sir Jon's report, Mr Reed is set to describe the water industry as "broken" and welcome the commission's recommendations to ensure "the failures of the past can never happen again". Final recommendations of the commission have been published on Monday morning to clean up the sector and improve public confidence. Major other suggested steps for the government include greater consumer protection by upgrading the Consumer Council for Water into an ombudsman with advocacy duties being transferred to Citizens Advice. Stronger and updated regulations have been proposed by Sir Jon, including compulsory water metering, changes to wholesale tariffs for industrial users and greater water reuse and rainwater harvesting schemes. A social tariff is also recommended. Oversight of companies via the ability to block changes in ownership of water businesses and the addition of "public benefit" clauses in water company licences. To boost company financial resilience, as the UK's biggest provider Thames Water struggles to remain in private ownership, the commission has recommended minimum financial requirements, like banks are subject to. It's hoped this will, in turn, make companies more appealing to potential investors. The public health element of water has been recognised, and senior public health representation has been recommended for regional water planning authorities, as have new laws to address pollutants like forever chemicals and microplastics. A "supervisory" approach has been recommended to intervene before things like pollution occur, rather than penalising the businesses after the event. A long-term, 25-year national water strategy should be published by the UK and Welsh governments, with ministerial priorities given to water firms every five years. Companies should also be required to map and assess their assets and resilience Please refresh the page for the fullest version.
