If we give the Environment Agency the benefit of the doubt – the River Thames Scheme project has been around since 2014 – according to their own literature (below). The cost – let’s say (conservatively) – £110m and 10 years. So what have we got for all this time and money?

Sadly, it looks like some of the EA targets have been missed (Note: 2020 in the literature – proposed start of construction) and of course RTS Channel One was removed from the project. I think we will be lucky if the project if the project commences in 2030.

I look forward to this project being revived – if only so that somebody somewhere can be held accountable.


I do consider all of the ideas you’ve offered to your post.
They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for starters.
May just you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.
