Lock-Keepers' Homes Along The Thames
EDM number 1253 in 2012-13, proposed by Teresa Pearce on 26/03/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Housing, Marine environment and Shipping.
That this House is concerned about the Environment Agency's proposal to dispose by sale or letting lock-keepers' homes along the Thames; recognises the importance of lock-keepers being resident in homes adjacent to locks to maintain safety and prevent flooding on the river; notes that moving lock-keepers away from the locks may reduce response times from 15 minutes to up to two hours; fears for the welfare of the lock-keepers and their families; and calls on the Government to ask the Environment Agency to protect this unique part of the nation's river heritage and the tradition of lock-keepers living at the site of locks.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
