Owen Paterson 'sacked' and Liz Truss to be new Environment Secretary. With Chris Smith also retiring this month as EA Chairman don't give much hope for EA Nav issues being high on anyones agenda!
With Philip Hammond becoming Foreign Secretary suspect attention on flooding will lessen as well.
 
I don't think anythings going to happen in our favour, until we get an Environmemt Mininster who takes to the Thames like Margaret Beckett did to caravanning.
 
Just heard that Secretary of State has asked Lord Chris Smith to extend his term as Chairman of the Environment Agency until 7 September 2014. After that Sir Philip Dilley will take up the post, subject to final confirmation by the Secretary of State.
