This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Dredging and the removal of silt and sand from main rivers is regulated under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2010, but decisions about dredging of individual rivers is a matter for individual local authorities and the Environment Agency, not the Government or House of Commons.

If you are concerned about management of the River Severn you could contact the Environmen Agency directly about this: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
