Increase waterway dredging to help prevent flooding
Increase dredging of our waterways to assist in preventing flooding. We view dredging as essential to enhance the water-carrying capacity of our rivers & streams. By increasing this capacity, we could significantly help reduce the risk of flooding, which threatens businesses, homes, & lives.
Park and riverside areas cleaned
Community clean-up efforts have successfully cleared litter from local park and riverside areas, leaving them in improved condition.
River and park litter collection across boroughs
Community volunteers organized litter collection events across multiple boroughs, removing significant amounts of waste from waterways and parks with support from a local restaurant.
Government to fund access to portage services by all Local Authorities
We call on the Government to fund all Local Authorities to provide portage services in every area, as we believe this will ensure a young child with developmental delay and disability can have more successful outcomes.
Significant littering and fly-tipping across riverside areas
Multiple locations across the borough show evidence of substantial fly-tipping including bags of waste, plastics and abandoned tents. This represents a serious environmental and aesthetic issue.
