Your feedback is being analysed.

The Environment Agency consulted on this proposal for change between 13 July 2015 and 16 August 2015.

The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map at Gobians Sewer, Linford, East Tilbury, Essex.

It proposes the change as a ‘determination’ under section 193C(1) of the Water Resources Act 1991. A determination is a formal decision to change the main river map.

The proposed determination is that we will correct the main river map between national grid reference (NGR) TQ6817279779 and NGR TQ6948079170. The watercourse that is no longer to be considered as a Main River is shown as a ‘deletion’ on the main river consultation.

The change means that the map would show the correct location of the main river watercourse.

Gobians Sewer no longer exists as a passage for water on the current main river alignment as it was diverted to the south in 1980 as part of the Mucking tip works. This factual change is required to reflect this alteration in the main river map.
