Dredge the River Tyne
Dredge the River Tyne up to and including around Dunston and further along towards Newburn and Wylam.
If the continuing build up of sediment continues and annual rainfall increases it is only a matter of time till more major flooding takes place along the banks of the River Tyne and more subsidence occurs, if dredging could be done it would create jobs as well as create leisure opportunities on the river with a more free flowing river and also help the environment overall.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about dredging rivers are an operational matter for the Environment Agency, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
If you are concerned about management of the River Tyne you could contact the Environmen Agency directly about this: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency
