TE2100 is a project which developed a long term tidal flood risk management plan for the Thames Estuary to identify what action will be needed through this century to manage flood risk to people and wildlife.

Do we need a new Thames Barrier? Do we continue to build flood walls higher or try to make space for water? How do we ensure the diverse needs of communities are reflected in our future planning? These are the issues at the heart of the Environment Agency's Thames Estuary 2100 Plan.

In 2008 we arranged a series of evening talks and weekend open days with the Environment Agency -in conjunction with local partners - to update communities and organisations across North Kent and Essex on the Environment Agency's Thames Estuary 2100 project. Jill Goddard attended the evening meetings to provide a neutral chairing role for the EA presentation and resultant discussion. At the moment we are working closely with the Environment Agency to discuss the TE2100 implementation work.
