On the River Thames

Caroline Pidgeon AM met with Thames Tideway Tunnel project officers for a trip along the River Thames to look at some of the sites where major works will take place to build the Tunnel. The Tunnel will remove sewage from London in a modern way, rather than the current situation which means when it rains heavily, sewage is washed into the River Thames.

Caroline questioned the mitigation plans around some of the sites and was pleased to hear that 3 acres of new public space and planting will be created as a result of the project.
