    THE RIVER WANDLE the River Wandle Flows Through the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth Where It Joins the River Thames

    WANDLE INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION SHEET supporting KS 1/2 History & Geography: H KS2 - a study of..a site that is significant in the locality Gg KS1 – use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to rivers Gg KS2 – understand key aspects of … rivers THE RIVER WANDLE The River Wandle flows through the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth where it joins the River Thames. It’s main sources are from chalk springs along the foothills of the North Downs around the Carshalton and Croydon areas, although several of these are now dried up. The existing spring sources can be found in Carshalton Ponds, Beddington Park, Waddon Ponds and more recently Wandle Park. The river flows for 19 kilometres (12 miles) falling 58 metres (136 feet) over its length. As a result it is fast flowing compared to neighbouring tributaries such as the Graveney, Norbury Brook and the Bourne streams. This made it very attractive to be used to drive water wheels. It is no surprise that in 1805 the Wandle was described as “the hardest worked river for its size in the world” due to the numerous water mills along it. It also had the reputation of being the best trout fishing river in the country, frequently used by Lord Nelson when visiting Merton. The origin of the name of the river is unclear. It is likely that Wandle, and that of Wandsworth, is derived from Saxon “Wendlesworth” meaning “Wendle’s settlement”. The charter of AD 693 called it the hlida burnon or highbourne meaning “loud stream”. The earliest reference to the current name is in 1586.

  • Air Quality Action Plan for the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames

    Air Quality Action Plan for the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames

    Air Quality Action Plan For the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management JULY 2016 SUMMARY This document revises the Council’s current Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) that was published in 2005 and outlines the actions we will take to prevent deterioration of, and ultimately improve, air quality in the Borough between January 2016 and December 2021. Our medium term plan, ‘Destination Kingston’ sets out our aim of making Kingston fit for modern living - an attractive place to live and work. This plan supports a number of the Destination Kingston 2015-2019 themes and objectives, with clean air and a healthy environment being a fundamental requirement for our communities to live, work and grow. The AQAP also supports a key element of the Our Kingston Programme, established in July 2015 and setting out how the Council will deliver the vision set out in Destination Kingston. Actions to improve Air Quality sit well within Community Outcome 7 established within the programme, which seeks a ‘sustainable borough with a diverse transport network and quality environment for all to enjoy’. Air quality assessments undertaken by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames identified that the Government's air quality objective for annual mean nitrogen dioxide and daily mean particulates (PM10) were not being met within the Borough (as with most of London) by the target dates. As a consequence, the Council designated an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) across the whole of the Borough and produced an Air Quality Action Plan in recognition of the legal requirement on the Council to work towards air quality objectives; as required under Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 and the relevant air quality regulations.
