    Maintenance on ‘main rivers’ You don’t need permission from EA to: remove in-stream debris and rubbish undertake minor tree works - you can cut back trees and other vegetation, and remove fallen trees trim grass/vegetation on the banks and in the channel You may require permission to: remove silt and gravel from in channel re-profile the watercourse banks make the watercourse deeper or wider spread material on top of the bank or nearby carry out maintenance works to structures in, over or under a main river or a flood defence Before you start work on or near a ‘main river’ you should submit your plans to EA and apply for a Flood Defence Consent. The above is taken from here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/river-maintenance-and-drainage-charges-farmers-and-landowners

    They are the ones who prevent it, they stop landowners from dredging their own stretches of river

    When will the idiots in charge accept that dredging is at least part of the solution to these problems, its just common sense, if the gap under the bridge is reduced by silt the volume of water that can pass under is by definition reduced.

    The sad thing about such scams (which do go on) is that it makes us all very suspicious of people genuinely in need.

    I cut my line fairly bad earlier in the year, it was pretty poor, had to feed the nasty bit through the zz. Was pretty busy and did not get chance to pick up a new one. It did look a mess, but we all know our ropes a way stronger than required and will be just fine with a fair bit of damage. I dismantled a biggish Eucalyptus for a guy, he was very pleased, no damage to his lawn, walls, hedges etc. He was very complimentary of my work, but he did say " I've an old tow rope in the garage if you need it??, it looks better than your rope" :blushing:
