  • TLS Review 2008 Part 3
    FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION Potential Project Outcomes It is proposed that the ‘Restoration of the Lost Floodplain’ will: • Optimise the use of the floodplain for water to go during a flood event. • Identify ways to restore and reconnect the natural rhythms of the river corridor to create a ‘living landscape’ – a mosaic of habitats (created at a landscape scale) allowing wildlife to flourish and move about in as climate changes. • Create a network of sluices, controls and channels linked to a real-time flood forecasting model to enable flooding to be carefully controlled across a large area, reducing the risk of disruption to people. • Put in place a network of sustainable footpaths, cycle routes, informal trails, signage, and dry routes to allow visitors and locals to navigate through the landscape even in times of flood and drought. • Restore the historic landscape framework of fields, avenues, creeks, ponds, woodland, grazed wet meadows and native hedges. • Put in place a long-term management plan to carry out the day-to-day maintenance of the riverside that will include an active volunteer programme. • Establish an education and outreach programme to connect people with their environment. Project Scope – By Area Below is a list of possible project locations. Considerable consultation and funding will be needed before any agreement is reached. Syon Flood Meadows , Kew Gardens, Kew Haha, The Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Course, River Crane, The Old Deer Park, Petersham Meadows, Ham Towpath & Radnor Gardens, Ham Lands, Marble Hill Park and the Warren Footpath, Home Park at Hampton Court Palace, Canbury Gardens Kingston, Thames Ditton, River Mole & Cigarette Island, Hurst Park, Broom Road Recreation Ground, and other riverside settlements & town centres.

    THAMES LANDSCAPE STRATEGY June - September 2018 Partner Update TLS Annual Meeting The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew hosted the 2018 Annual TLS meeting at the Nash Conservatory. Attended by 180 TLS friends and partners, HRH The Duke of Gloucester gave the key note speech. Richmond Hill Telescope Opening On Thursday 6th September the Thames Landscape Strategy opened a new telescope on Richmond Hill. The Mayor for Richmond upon Thames Cllr Ben Khosa, Pat Spaight, Zac Goldsmith and Ellen LeCompt unveiled the telescope in the traditional Thames Landscape Strategy manner by the cutting a garland of ivy picked from Richmond Hill. The telescope has been made possible by the London Borough of Richmond Civic Pride Fund and LBRuT Parks who funded the installation. It replaces a telescope that was stolen in 2015 funded by Richmond Hill resident and long standing Secretary of the Richmond Society Pat Spaight in memory of her late husband – Air Commodore Robin Spaight. The coin free telescope consists to 2 binoculars set at different heights offering an enhanced opportunity to explore the view. James River THAMES LANDSCAPE STRATEGY June - September 2018 Partner Update Hounslow Ganeshotsav Mandal The TLS has once again teamed up with the Hounslow Ganeshotsav Mandal (HGM) to help arrange the immersion of Lord Ganesh into the River Thames at Kingston Sailing Club. The event has now been running for 11 years and it has been estimated that the immersion has included over 5,000 people from the Hindu community who had previously had very little contact with the Thames Landscape- many previously feeling that the river had little value to them.

The river however, is as diverse as the capital itself, constantly changing as it flows through the metropolis to the sea. This variety has been characterised into four distinct reaches, based on an understanding of the unique environments, dynamism and use of the Thames corridor rather than on more traditional political or navigational boundaries. The Thames Landscape Strategy, established in 1994, brings together a partnership of riparian organisations and communities within a 100-year vision for one of these distinct reaches between Hampton and Kew (with an extension in Elmbridge to Weybridge). This Royal stretch of the Thames is often referred to as the Arcadian Thames – a rural paradise of inter-connected parks, gardens, palaces, public open spaces, historic settlements and working riverside communities that offers some of the best recreational opportunities in the region.
