Redbridge Council urges Thames Water to expedite Roding clean-up

Redbridge Council has called on Thames Water to “prioritise and expedite” remedial work on sewage outfalls in the River Roding.

Recent monitoring by Thames21 and the River Roding Trust revealed high levels of E. coli and intestinal enterococci bacteria, exceeding safe limits by over 20 times on some parts of the river, likely due to unauthorised sewage discharge by Thames Water.

At a meeting in March, the council resolved to maintain pressure on relevant authorities and continue to advocate for urgent action.
