Next steps

Our last consultation was in the Autumn of 2022 and we are working on the analysis of the responses to the questionnaire. This analysis is almost complete.

We received 485 responses to the consultation, 447 were via the questionnaire and 38 were via email or letter.

All the feedback we received will be carefully considered by the landscape architects, civil engineers, environmental scientists, water modelling experts and others working on the River Thames Scheme.

During the first half of 2023 we will be reporting back on the feedback received during the consultation. This report will summarise the feedback received and will be made available to the public once ready. A later report will show how we have made changes in response to feedback and or why we have been unable to make the changes suggested.

As the RTS moves towards its Development Consent Order (DCO), a further public consultation is planned. This further consultation, proposed in late 2023, will share the latest proposals which have evolved following feedback to the 2022 consultation and give communities another opportunity to feed into the proposals before the Development Consent Order is submitted.
