Summary:
The Lower Thames Flood Risk Management Strategy (LTFRMS) proposes measures to
reduce the risk of flooding to the 15,000 properties which are currently at risk from a 1%
flood event in the area from Datchet to Teddington. These measures include the
construction of three flood diversion channels, the widening of Desborough Cut and
improvements to Sunbury and Molesey Weirs and Teddington Lock. It also includes
community based measures for improving resistance and resilience to flooding for smaller
groups of properties and improving mapping information for emergency evacuation plans.
