  • 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.

Walton-on-Thames is one of the most ancient sett lements in the area, and is a likely site for Julius Caesar’s fording of the river. The place- name indicates that there was in Roman times an existing sett lement of pre-Roman inhabitants, coming from the same root as ‘Welsh’. Like many communities in this quarter, the railway brought the impetus for expansion, and today Walton has many commuters into London. It is also a popular location for corporate headquarters. To reach the north bank of the river at Shepperton, climb up to Walton Bridge. Cross the bridge, and go 12.2 left into Walton Lane; follow this round its bends to reach a T-junction with a mini-roundabout.

  • West Byfleet to Hampton Court Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk West Byfleet to Hampton Court walk The Wey Navigation and the Thames Path via several pubs. Length 10.7 miles / 17.2 km (with no ascent) The Extension to Kingston adds 2.5 miles / 4.1 km (with no ascent) Toughness 1 out of 10 (easy walking along tarmaced paths) Maps OS Explorers: 160 and 161 Features This easy walk is very close to London. It follows the Wey Navigation (a canal), and then joins the Thames, which it follows it to Hampton Court. Navigation is simple, and there are many pubs along the walk. The entire route is marked with red chevrons on OS maps, though waymarking along the canal is poor. While the walk is flat, the path along the Wey Navigation is a bit rough in spots. While it is passable for bikes, it is narrow in places, and so not really suitable for wheelchairs or baby buggies. The Thames Path is wide, paved, and suitable for both Hampton Court Palace gardens are no longer free, but there is free access to the deer park from the Thames (just past the Palace), and also through an unassuming gate just opposite the entrance to Busy Park. Between Walton and Hampton Court is a place where you can feed Swans (its marked) - bring stale bread - although not normally recommended, it encourages them to stay in a specific area. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/west-byfleet-to-hampton-court/ 1/6 Swimming Use extreme caution, and take local advise. Although the river seems calm, there are drownings in the Thames each year.

The Council is demonstrating its political leadership; taking action; leading by example; monitoring air quality; using the planning system; integrating air quality into the public health system; and informing the public. This 2019 Annual Status Report reviews recent air quality monitoring in the Borough in accordance with Defra LAQM guidance. In doing so, it fulfils one further aspect of this ongoing commitment. The report identifies that: For carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, lead and sulphur dioxide there is not a significant risk of the objectives being exceeded in the Council’s area.
