00:00The Mayor of London has launched a 10-year plan to improve the capital's rivers and waterways.
00:06This comes after Sir Sadiq Khan blamed decades of neglect from water firms and Londoners for the state of the
00:13capital's waterways.
00:15The Mayor says the strategy aims to restore wildlife, improve water quality and create cleaner spaces for local communities to
00:23enjoy.
00:23Thames Water is among the organisations backing the programme with a major investment plan to help reduce sewage pollution.
00:31The Mayor also says everyone has a role to play in protecting rivers by reducing litter and caring for local
00:38waterways.
00:39Work will begin at 10 locations across different parts of London over the coming years.
