The EA have stepped back from the proposed CPI + 2% and are now proposing that the increase for 2015 will be the CPI for July. The June CPI was 1.9% so it remains to be seen what this month will bring.

Quote from EA message received this morning:
"We are consulting customers on our charging proposal from this week and for the next six weeks to the 30 August. We will then review customer feedback and consider the final recommendation before we make a recommendation to the Board in early October. The consultation timing runs differently to other EA charging regimes as the Thames registration year starts on the 1 January, so we need to finalise our approach in time to send registration renewals in November.

We will be inviting customer representatives to work with us over the autumn/winter to develop a three year charging plan to run from 2016 – 2018. These proposals will then be considered within the Environment Agency and a consultation position recommended to the Board for wider consultation from July 2015."

The EA have also confirmed the extension of Lord Chris Smith's tenure as Chairman until 7th September:
Chairman's term extended until 7 September 2014
‘Dear Colleagues
I am delighted to announce that the Secretary of State has asked Lord Chris Smith to extend his term as Chairman of the Environment Agency until 7 September 2014 when it is expected that Sir Philip Dilley will take up the post, subject to final confirmation by the Secretary of State. The extension will ensure continuity in leadership over the next few months, as we continue to deliver outcomes for people and the environment and move through our organisational change.
Kind regards
Paul Leinster’
