Friends Of the River Crane Environment, FORCE
Come discover the River Crane corridor with the Friends of the River Crane Environment. There is something for everyone. The River Crane forms the West London Green Chain from Harrow to the Thames at Isleworth. FORCE is a community based voluntary organisation working in the London Boroughs of Richmond and Hounslow. This video explains all about us, produced by our member Dominic Motchell; do enjoy ! Find out What We Do and how you can Get Involved
The corridor is rich in wildlife, has varied landscapes of meadow, heathland, woodland and scrub and a unique industrial past. There are places to explore, play, exercise and learn in, plus playgrounds for children to enjoy. Find out what there is to Discover and Learn. Maybe enjoy a local walk, download one of our maps or join a Walk & Talk listed under Events.
FORCE are shocked to find seven blocks of flats pouring all their effluent in to local rivers
At least seven blocks of flats are discharging all their waste water into the Crane and Brent Rivers, almost certainly since they were built. In each case the owner/developer has not yet resolved the problem, despite in one instance being made aware of it by TW over six years ago. This image shows household effluents going directly into the River Crane
