The River Thames Scheme Update Report was considered by RBWM at the Council Meeting on 28-4-2015.
At that time the RTS project included three channels and was valued at £302m. About five years later the project costs had risen to £635m and the total RBWM Council partnership funding contribution to £52.7m (ref RBWM BLP Note 054 page 2). In July 2020 RTS Channel One was removed from the project. The question is - when and how was the decision reached that RBWM would not be meeting their previously agreed partnership funding commitment?
