AMP7 SuDS programme (2020 to 2025)
In AMP7 we are proud to have trialled new ways of working in partnership. Our goal was to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions to tackle flooding and pollution.
We worked with over 40 fantastic organisations across more than 70 projects. These projects have reduced rainwater in our sewers. This covered 20 hectares of catchment area - that is 200,000m2, or around 50 acres.
Strategic partnerships
We recognise that nature-based solutions work best when we collaborate with councils.
As part of our £5 million funding for nature-based solutions, we worked closely with:
- Lambeth
- Hounslow
- Tri-Authority Partnership of Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse DC and Cherwell DC
Third party projects
Our two Call for Projects ended in August 2021 and April 2022. We received lots of fantastic applications.
As part of the project we allocated around £5 million. We funded over 40 surface water management projects.
Thank you to everyone who applied. All applicants have been provided with feedback. You can view our previous funding application guidance and projects we worked on.
Organisations benefitting from SuDs
Alongside our Call for Projects, we ran a series of online events in 2022. We heard from a variety of organisations benefitting from Thames Water funding. The funding has helped organisations implement a range of SuDS features.
We've listed examples of organisations benefitting from this:
- Constructed Wetlands - Ian Russell, Enfield
- SuDS in Schools - Daniel Johns and Paul Wyse. You can also view the design report.
- GLA: SuDS in London - Holly Smith, GLA
- Highway SuDS - Kayan Cheng, Hackney
