The council is planning to spend £425k clearing excess reeds and vegetation from Albion Channel
Albion Channel is a water channel which is approximately 650m long connecting Canada Water to Surrey Water. The Channel runs through a residential area predominately surrounded by flats. The current overgrown state impacts on the ability of the water to flow along the Channel increasing the possible risk of localised flooding. Albion Channel is referenced in the London Borough of Southwark draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2023 – 2029. As an ordinary watercourse, Albion Channel is the responsibility of the Lead Local Flood Authority – Southwark council. This project will improve the environment along Albion Channel and ensure that the channel can cope with flood water drainage. The location of the Channel means access is very restricted which makes carrying out maintenance and dredging difficult and time-consuming owing to constraints on plant equipment size/capacity and elongated distances to be covered for waste removal. For the project to be carried out efficiently, the water level in the Channel with require lowering to allow for the easier removal of excess reeds and vegetation, including root mats and silt. Lowering the Channel water level has fewer hurdles whilst the water level in Canada Water is temporarily lowered as part of redevelopment works in the vicinity. This allows for draining the Channel without needing to consider inflow into the Channel from Canada Water. Officers will work to ensure minimum impact on ecology during the works, to ensure the completed project will deliver improved ecology outcomes in this area. Bringing the Channel back into a state of active ecological management provides opportunities to engage local community groups and environmental organisations with the stewardship and long-term future of this
