22 of 2022 - Industrial Action

Trade unions have informed the Environment Agency of their intent to call their members to take part in industrial action from 12 December 2022.  Staff may also be withdrawing from out of hours rosters on the following dates: 12, 14, 16, 19, 20, 22, 23, 31st December 2022 and 1st January 2023. 

We have plans in place to minimise any disruption to our essential work to protect the environment and respond to incidents.

What does this mean for the Upper Medway Navigation?

During this time, water levels may fluctuate more than the normal range. 

As such, river users are asked to ensure that their boats are moored to accommodate slightly higher water levels, as they would during strong stream notices.
