This morning I welcomed to Harmondsworth village delegates to this conference bringing together volunteers and environmental experts working to improve our rivers, including many chalk streams. I have been working with local residents in West Drayton to tackle the flooding threat they face but today in talking to the West Drayton residents attending the conference we have agreed to try and launch our own project group to meet monitor and improve the quality of the local rivers in our patch and improve the riverside environment and ecology. We will be calling a local open meeting in a few weeks and will seek to work with the Environment Agency, the local council and Brunel University. If any local people are interested in supporting this project please drop me a line on mcdonnellj@parliament.uk
