Restart river dredging to ease effect of future floods
Reinstate river dredging it will also make our waterways safer & more appealing for boats to use by limiting the potential damage to the boats... it would create more revenue to pay for the dredging
We have since March 2019 lived & run a business beside the river Severn in Worcester, in this time our business has experienced 10 floods.
So many peoples lives are affected by these floods & not all can be protected by barriers... If dredging the waterways is reinstated this will help to ease the impact of future floods & in the long run save the Government a lot of money.
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:
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
