The October 2025 Thames Regional Flood and Coastal Committee Meeting Agenda and Reports totalled 146 pages of images and text. I invited my son to consider the content of the published TRFCC Agenda and Report pages.
With no additional information or context, below is the YouTube audio/visual presentation he came back with a few minutes later:
Are you sitting comfortably? It may not be perfect but I am very happy to offer you the opportunity to look at the 6-minute YouTube video created with the aid of Ai. I would greatly appreciate any comments you may have.
For the record – I spoke against the 1.99% flood levy increase (and abstained from the vote) at the Thames RFCC Meeting on 23/10/2025. As for the River Thames Scheme (I have asked for the total cost to date) it appears that a formal announcement on the project has been delayed again – and is expected at the next full meeting in January. My view is that Surrey Local Government Review – and their vast accumulated debt – now impacts previous RTS partnership funding commitments made by SCC in 2019. It is notable that the Surrey stand-in rep was very quiet.
I have alarm bells ringing about the River Thames Scheme Partnership funding commitment. As for the total RTS/LTFRMS expenditure to date – I think it is over £100m to date.
