Thames Water Reservoir Consultation

17th July 2024

The Vale of White Horse District Council has sent us the following message:  

Thames Water has launched a public consultation on the proposed reservoir and the public have until 28 August to give their views at: https://thames-wrmp.co.uk/projects/sesro/

Plans for the controversial reservoir near Abingdon have again been criticised by local communities, with Vale of White Horse District Council urging water providers to consider alternative solutions more seriously. The reservoir is now even bigger than originally planned – at around 6.5 km2 – almost as big as Gatwick Airport and unprecedented in scale.
