The Environment Agency has threatened the River Roding Trust with prosecution for carrying out restoration work on the Alders Brook.
If you think the actions of the EA are outrageous, please email the chief exec Philip Duffy to express your dissatisfaction with the EA’s actions in strong (but always polite and never abusive!) terms. In particular, the River Roding Trust are calling for:
- All threats of prosecution against the River Roding Trust & its volunteers to be publicly withdrawn & threats to destroy the pond & river channel we have created similarly withdrawn.
- The EA to instead use its prosecutorial powers against Thames Water to demand that within six months they produce a plan to fix all illegal sewage spills on the Roding by 2030, failing which the EA will prosecute every single illegal sewage spill to the full force of the law.
- The EA to work with the River Roding Trust & guardians of the River Roding to actively protect & restore the River Roding.
Please do get in contact with any responses you receive. Email river.roding@gmail.com
