We are hosting a pop-up event from 4-7pm on Monday 25 July with @rnli_teddington and @LondonFire for #WorldDrowningPreventionDay.

We're aiming to talk to young people about the dangers of swimming in the Thames, particularly in this area.

International Women’s Day. Katherine Switzer famously ran the Boston Marathon in 1967. Women were not allowed to run marathons. She was even dragged off by one of the male marshals. Her boyfriend and coach at the time fought him off.

@peter_faulding You do an amazing job. Stay safe

[Clare Dinnis @ClareDinnisWWT]

A great sign #recovery can begin for communities & our #assets so they’re ready when needed next. Plus of course rest for #TeamEA on site throughout.

#Rivers remain high so we’re working with @FloodForecasts to inform decisions about what stays up & what isn’t needed right now.

#Thames Field teams were called to a tree spanning the whole of the River Coln at Fairford today. No job too big for the Cotswold Team! @maria_herlihy @Jennifer_Hil1 @wifo_ea @EnvAgencySE

Relief in #Godalming that the @EnvAgencySE Flood Alleviation Scheme finished late last year supplemented by temporary flood barriers, has so far prevented flooding of 100 properties in the Cattershall Road area. River Wey still rising and expected to peak in the next 12 hours
