The River Roding, ranked among London's most polluted rivers, faces alarming sewage discharge issues, largely attributed to Thames Water's actions. Monitoring by Thames21 and the River Roding Trust reported bacteria levels significantly exceeding safe thresholds. Following a council motion, authorities hold Thames Water accountable for unauthorized sewage discharges impacting local water quality, particularly affecting Alders Brook. Councillors stress the need for swift remedial actions and funding to address this environmental crisis, emphasizing clean water's vital role in health and ecological balance.
Councillors have highlighted that due to unauthorised sewage discharges by Thames Water, the River Roding has been subject to extremely unsafe levels of bacteria, compromising its environmental integrity.
Clean water is essential for survival, and the state of the River Roding and its contamination demonstrates a national environmental scandal, as stated by Cllr Blackman.
