Prevent the River Thames Scheme from flowing into Shepperton Open Water Lake
We ask that the Government STOPS the Spelthorne Channel of the River Thames Scheme (river water contaminated by passing, routed through, three landfill sites) flowing into Shepperton Open Water Swimming Lake.
The route of the Scheme does NOT need to include Shepperton Open Water Swimming Lake. It will cause a deterioration in bathing water quality and impact the existing standing water which supports the Ferris Meadows site of nature conservation interest. Thames Water regularly discharges raw sewage into the Thames and channelling that water through landfill sites into a lake currently fed only by groundwater and rainwater is UNACCEPTABLE. It poses a serious risk to the health of swimmers and the safety of the lake and threatens the natural habitats it supports.
