I fully support the hard work the River Roding Trust does for the community, particularly where this makes it easier for people to walk and cycle. This work will provide a welcome complement to TfL’s significant investment in walking and cycling in the area.

I have asked Transport for London to contact the Environment teams in the local authorities the River Roding runs through; namely Epping Forest, Redbridge, Newham and Barking and Dagenham. They will ask them to make contact with the Trust to offer assistance on any restoration works that they can support.
