Joint Thames Strategies

Protecting our communities, enhancing our environment, and enabling a thriving future.

The Joint Thames Strategy Refresh is a project currently underway that aims to update and improve the existing Joint Thames Strategies, a decade on. These strategies provide a good sub-regional context in which decisions relating to the planning and management of the river can be set.

Working collaboratively on guidance allows each area to build their individual policies while having the support of the entire network. The JTSR aim to help brought to enhance and evolve their current policy to be inline with the fast approaching deadlines set out in TE2100

The Joint Thames Strategy is being delivered by Thames Estuary Partnership and Thames Landscape Strategy in partnership with the London Borough or Richmond upon Thames.
