On the Wandle at least, we'd never have got the river back to its upward curve without endless help from many people - a lot from this forum, you know who you are  - and I'm still in awe whenever I turn up to a cleanup or river restoration event and see so many others pulling out rubbish or banging in stakes. Every river needs a family like this!
And the work goes on... we've got a rolling programme of river restoration days planned for this autumn, so feel free to come and join in, if you haven't already...

Thanks again all!

About 30 years ago, when I lived in the area, I used to walk my dog along the banks of the Wandle from the ruins of Merton Place opposite the Liberty Works, down an old footpath if I remember, through Morden Hall Park, past the tobacco mill, and past the (then) new houses to Mitcham.
I loved it then, but always thought what a great place it
could be, so I'm really pleased that all the work has now been done.
Well done Theo and the team, and everyone else who've been involved.
Now, I just need to nip down to London to see it.
cheers,
Andy
Congrats to the Wandle and all who helped her!!
....No not the one down sarf, the tributary of the Severn that runs out of Stourport-on-Severn, through Kidderminster, Stourton and Stourbridge..........whoopee. It was virtualy an open sewer nor so long back...........brilliant
