Sadiq Khan wants to prioritise an area of the river in Teddington , south-west London , to make it safe and clean for swimming.

Environment secretary Steve Reed just last week approved the next stage in the development of a controversial scheme to allow Thames Water to pump 75 m litres a day of treated sewage into the river.
