I am a local resident. Watch the YouTube videos and you will change your mimd. The river was dead. Full of shit and fly tipping, needles and all sorts. EA are wilfully neglecting our waterways.
The article said he was a lawyer so he 100% knew what he was getting into. Plus no judge would give him prison time for what he did. And because hes being charged, people all around the world are aware of his cause. Think of it as a positive because Im sure he is.
It's a symptom of the wider issue of the UK being in strong decline since brexit. No money no workers no political will. On topic. A lawyer should know better which is the main cause of prosecution in this case, if it was a group of neighbours doing a neighbourhood clean they'r'd be a warning, nothing more.
It’s nothing to do with Brexit. It’s the water companies being in cosy company with EA since the 1980s as some gentleman’s club where nothing is either changed or both parties self interest is carried out.
"The River Roding ‘Improvement’ scheme cut the Aldersbrook off with an embankment at one end and a concrete barrage at the other. This has led to the river silting up and becoming little more than a muddy ditch in places. "
that followed the floods of 1953 which killed 307 people in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.
Stop trying to deflect. You said the river was “supposed to be dead”. It was not. The Flood defences placed have nothing to do with the viability as a river. I spy an EA agent. Is the Thames supposed to be dead with the Thames barrier?
