Plans for a London-wide 'super-sewer' that is set to add £10 a month for life to the bills of 14 million Thames Water customers will be probed by an independent commission, it was announced today.
A team of internationally renowned experts, led by Lord Selborne, will examine the case for the massive 20-mile long sewer -- which will be larger than the Channel Tunnel if it is built.
Thames Water claim the tunnel is needed to avoid EU fines and clean up the River Thames but growing numbers of residents, councils and MPs are questioning whether the super sewer, which is also known as the Thames Tunnel, is the best solution.
The Thames Tunnel Commission was launched this morning (July 4) ahead of a meeting between the Environment Minister, Richard Benyon MP, and the Leaders of the 14 riverside London boroughs that will be affected by the scheme.
