Tim doesn't deserve this. He does his job in a friendly professional way in all weather's and has been there a very long time ..

Reading in utter disbelief! Its hard to believe someone so caring and helpful can be treated so badly! After years of visiting its safe to say we will no longer visit Allington lock if this continues to go ahead!

This is unbelievable Tim Benger is the most caring and professional lock keeper we have ever met in 15 years on the Medway and the Thames. He has such expertise and knowledge and takes his responsibilities so seriously in a potentially dangerous field of work

Tim is a gentleman and a dedicated lock keeper . How someone can accuse him and destroy his life like this is unbelievable . Has the accuser had there past background looked into to see if they have done this before . The lock will never be the same , the agency has totally let a loyal employee down totally discusting.

Absolutely a travesty of justice that anyone can just accuse anyone of anything and destroy their lives. From what I have heard, it would appear that the agency have other ideas for the future of the locks and Tim is being made a scapegoat for whatever will be in the future. I hope that the real guilty parties regret this for the rest of their lives

A disgraceful example of government agency spinelessness. Mr Benger has been victimised by his accuser and the body which should have supported him, not just deserted him. The people involved should be disgusted with his treatment. I belive he will clear his name and I hope the justice system makes an example of the agency and its failings.

A gentleman and a scholar.. cheerful, helpful, and extremely knowledgable. I have known him for four years and his behaviour has always been exemplary. Shame on the EA

Tim is not only an excellent lock keeper, he is a credit to the river. Always happy to help in anyway he can and cheerful with it. His treatment at the hands of the EA is appalling and those responsible for attempting to discredit his good name should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves!

Don't visit the upper medway too often but goin thru Allington lock when Tim was on duty was always a pleasure, he was very helpful and professional,the people who went against Tim with allegations should be named and shamed
