The River Thames is one of England’s finest boating and recreational assets. Powered boating, canoeing, sailing, rowing, walking and angling are just a few of the activities that take place. The River User Groups were setup to provide a forum to discuss and resolve issues affecting these river activities. This website provides a way to share and communicate the debates and the decisions made in the public meetings.
Environment Agency
The Environment Agency is responsible for managing the non-tidal River Thames. As the navigation authority it issues and consults the RUGs on various types of issue. This archive contains publications, consultation documents, question responses and other useful bits of information.
