400th Anniversary! 1613 opened. FYI http://newriver.org.uk/
This is illegal. Only corporations are allowed to dump stuff in rivers.
Funny you refer to the river as masculine. Found this interesting article.

Not intentionally but i think I did...
Good luck with your business.

When the contractor who cuts the grass along the New River banks does his stuff, some of the clippings end up in the water. In the section between Hamden Road and Wightman Road, the clippings float along with the current and are trapped by the gratings at the entrance to the Wightman Road tunnel. All such flotsam (along with sundry fast food wrappers and empty drinks cans) is fished out by Thames Water staff who visit the gratings every day with a machine. The accumulated pile of vegetation etc is carted away periodically - preferably before it starts to stink.
I don't know what happens to flotsam from Seymour Road southwards but I suppose there must be other such trapping points downstream from there.
In order to mark this event, I would like so see the new river path opened up along the ladder. It would provide a more scenic alternative to the passage when traversing the streets, and I think it could be a fantastic local amenity.
Does anyone agree? I can see objections possibly coming due to the impact on the wildlife, but it still seems to thrive on the other open sections, and only one bank would be accessible.
