The River Thames Scheme will reduce flood risk from Datchet to Teddington through a proposed programme of projects and investment in communities near Heathrow.

How can it:-
Secure our economy,
Enhance the River - make it navigable?

Won't start until 2020 - plenty of time to get it dropped.......

Thanks Tony - an interesting read. Staines still looks like a bottleneck....

Heathrow have offered a large amount of cash for this scheme on the sole condition that they get their third runway. More noise, more pollution, less flooding.
