We won't do this overnight. It will take us a few years to do but the great thing is there's an appetite from Londoners and campaigners.
The Tideway Tunnel will join 34 storm overflow drains as well as divert sewage to an east London treatment works, consequently reducing the amount of waste being pumped into the river, according to engineers.
Right now I wouldn't go in the river, and I would seriously reach out to anyone who is a wild swimmer, or anyone who uses the river in any capacity, to stay out of it until it has been given a chance to clear.
