25 Sept, 7.30pm, Port of London Authority talk on the Thames in Putney and beyond
If you walk by the river, drink by the river, row or sail on the river, travel on a river boat, are keen for more freight to go on the river rather than by road, are worried about pollution, then here's your chance to find out more. Do you know that all these issues come under the responsibilities of the Port of London Authority (PLA) who operate between Teddington Lock and the North Sea?If you care about any of these things then come along to the Putney Society meeting and hear from Jim Trimmer, Director of Planning and Development at the Port of London Authority. Monday 25 September at 7.30pm at the Community Church, Werter Road, Putney [opposite Sainsbury’s].Topics he is likely to cover include: progress on Thames Tideway; the proposed new Putney pier and ways to increase passenger and leisure use of the Thames; river pollution – do you realise it’s the PLA and not the Environment Agency who have responsibility for monitoring this issue in the Thames? He will also discuss their plans to encourage more freight to be carried by river and off our roads. And he is also happy to cover items pertinent to us such as the towpath and the maintenance of trees along the river banks and how the PLA prepare for major events such as the boat race. You can attend virtually by registering at registration@putneysociety.org.ukA £3 donation from non members of the Putney Society is welcome.Refreshments availableDisabled access
