The Environment Agency has published the Lower Thames Strategy Consultation (September 2009)

This consultation closes 4 December 2009.

Unfortunately the Jubilee River (the main element of the £110m MWEFAS project) is still unable to carry its design capacity (215 cumecs). The Myrke Embankment in Datchet is rapidly degrading yet again despite a £1.3m rebuild, and local watercourses are in desperate need of maintenance. For over ten years the River Thames has not been dredged for flood defence purposes.

3/10/09 - Lack of Thames dredging (e-mail from H Purchase)

2/10/09 - Letter from Cllr C Rayner (RBWM) requesting LTFRMS responses
