Please see below some of the RBWM excuses for delaying/failing to fix the Wraysbury Drain for over five years:
RBWM – ‘We have already spent about £200,000 and failed to fix the problems. We have now run out of money’
RBWM – ‘We have no DUTY to fix the problems. This is a riparian responsibility’
RBWM – ‘The weir is working properly but there is not enough water flowing downstream from Horton and Colnbrook’
RBWM – ‘We now agree the weir is compromised but have to negotiate access to make repairs’
RBWM – ‘We need to have the Wraysbury Drain surveyed again’
RBWM – ‘Unfortunately the new survey is incomplete because we could not gain access to some areas’
RBWM – ‘We now agree that the Wraysbury Drain is blocked. We know roughly where the problems are but not the precise cause or causes of the problems’
RBWM – ‘We cannot complete the inspection because the water level is too high’
RBWM – ‘We cannot gain access to remove blockages’
RBWM – ‘We have insufficient labour to deal with the problem at this time’
