Greater public control of Thames Water starts here. Make the company publish its detailed plans for sewer upgrades. We have the right to know how our money will be spent. When the plans are in public they can be assessed by independent experts. www.londonwaterkeeper.org.uk/take-action-1 1/3

The only glimpses of the River Fleet are at Hampstead Heath before it disappears into the sewer system. Its wiggly journey to the Thames at Blackfriars is best shown on the old London County Council Main Drainage map at Abbey Mills Pumping Station. 1/4

Ofwat plays poker on a tightrope with Thames Water bills to increase by 35%: The regulator says the company’s Business Plan for 2025-30 is Inadequate. It has put them in a ‘turnaround oversight regime’ and appointed an independent Monitor. Dec newsletter: www.londonwaterkeeper.org.uk/newsletter-d...

English water companies are now showing real-time sewer overflows. As the Environment Act 2021 requires. This is good of course. But are all the unconsented sewers on this new map? Channel4 Dispatches found 100s of sewer pipes "off the books" youtu.be/ilhC5Ekp3eo?si… (5m48s) 1

We need to boost street-level flood protection in London. Where we have a combined system rain goes down drainpipes & into sewers. Instead the green spaces in front of many properties could have small basins created to take the rain off roofs & slowly release it. Currently they're underused.

The last Government didn't fully activate its own law, the Environment Act 2021. The clause to make water companies "secure a progressive reduction in the adverse impacts of discharges from storm overflows" isn't in force. We asked the new Government to do it, they haven't yet.

Letter from the Government which doesn't confirm when the clause will be activated.
