I recently had to get a tetnus injection and antibiotics after getting Thames water splashed on a raw blister. There should be minimum water standards for recreational water use and the UK government should be forced to admit the sewage problems specific to the river thames and do something about them. Crossing their fingers and hoping it doesn't rain is not a suitable solution.

Please, please, clean up our river. It is dangerous, unpleasant, and upsetting to have a perfectly good river for recreation, competitive, commercial and scenic use spoiled by the dumping of raw sewage. In this day and age, completely unacceptable, especially for a world class city like London. In the interim, please do something to reduce the risk, and provide a way to know when these events happen, so we can manage the risk accordingly. thank you.

This is a serious health hazard – the river is as much a part of London as the streets or railways. Sewage contamination of either of those would not be tolerated and nor should it be in the case of the river. I suspect that the water regulator's restrictions on investment by Thames Water may be behind the seeming unwillingness to tackle this problem.

In recent weeks the river seems to have become more and more polluted. What concerns me is the number of used syringes, sanitary towels and plastic objects that are regularly being washed up on the shore at Chiswick Bridge. These are not what I would normally define as "sewage" in the processed or semi-processed sense and I would be interested to know if anybody knows what the source of these objects is. If they are as the result of "authorised" dumping then somebody needs to taken out and shot! If not then somebody in authority needs to be monitoring the situation a little more rigorously.

My children are learning to scull at TSS and it is apparent that the mud in the river has been full of untreated sewage all summer - like some third world country. The children returned from holiday with midge bites on their legs a couple of weeks ago - after rowing at the weekend the bites had become horribly infected and one of them had to be put onto antibiotics as a result.
