Oxfordshire MP and campaigners have written to the government following the approval of Thames Water's resource plans.

There are growing calls for a public inquiry into the agreed plan for a large reservoir in Oxfordshire.

GARD chairman Derek Stork said that "a cost of £2.3bn, quoted in 2022 and since subject to inflation, it is not the most cost-effective solution". Mr Stork said the news of the approval would be "greeted with astonishment and deep resentment in the areas of South Oxfordshire". He reminded that the reservoir needed final approval at Development Consent Order proceedings in 2026, and appealed for support in contesting the project.In his letter, Mr Glover, raised "serious concerns" about SESRO and cited "unresolved issues and significant public interest"."This fully justifies the need for a full and transparent inquiry."
