Ominous looking skies as the team work hard to set up our emergency pumps to draw down water levels following a mechanical failure at one of our Pumping Stations. A big thank you to the local Environment AgencySE ops team who have lent us some extra pipes and bits ! 😃 #teamwork

With the recent unsettled weather, our emergency pumps are still on site and working hard to restore water levels while our failed pump station motor is repaired. Our workforce doing a great job as always.

The LMIDB 2023/24 maintenance programme has started. Our workforce are mowing IDB adopted watercourses with the help of banksmen ensuring public safety while we operate in residential areas. Typical its raining though... 🚜☂️🌧️

A day on the Teynham Marshes with a family of swans coming to say hello. No ugly ducklings here🦢

What a great day on the north Kent marshes assisting RSPB RSPB for our annual team volunteering day. We cut back lots of willow to encourage regrowth to feed the many birds on the marsh and increase biodiversity, and created a willow fence as a hibernacula 🐜🦋🐦‍⬛🦤

A positive morning of engagement with staff and Board members today with a focus on ADA Environmental Good Governance Guidance and our Biodiversity Action Plans. Topped off after lunch with a (luckily) sunny site visit to a pump station.

Just look at what our operator, Shaun spotted on site this week. Nature in action!

Ditches are used for fly-tipping all over the country and our adopted watercourse is no different. Remember if you spot this crime being committed, please report it to the police. A big thankyou to our team for removing and thankyou to Swale BC for collecting.

The LMIDB team clearing main river at Seasalter for Environment Agency of super invasive Floating Pennywort. The channel was completely clogged!! Its not anymore. Great work sorting this guys!🦆🦢🌻

We thought this was a great reminder from @W4IDB & decided to steal~ (retweet) the post. Our Clerk is not a fan of Eels (they make her a little squeamish), but we are happy that our newly completed pump stations are fish friendly and will allow safe passage on their journey 🌎

8 trollies removed from an IDB adopted watercourse today with another 8 discovered around the corner along with tree stumps all in an attempt to dam off the channel!! Thanks to SwaleBoroughCouncil council members for supporting in talking to the local supermarkets about this. 👏

As part of our continued work into reducing our carbon footprint, we are please to announce a switch to HVO fuel for all heavy plant operations. 🚜🌻
