	The River Thames Society - caring for your river (River Wardens page)
		During a discussion of the wardens’ duties and responsibilities, it was observed that there were several sections of the Thames Path where the National Trail left the river and went beside main roads (sometime on the verge, sometimes on a pavement) at a distance from the river.
		It was felt that our work should be concentrated on the river and its banks, and that we should leave the monitoring of these roadside sections to the local council.
		If the Thames Path is permitted to run through Windsor Park between Albert and Windsor Bridges in the future, the Old Windsor to Romney reach could be restored to be the responsibility of one warden.
