Answer to RBWM Member Question 25/9/2024

Posted on September 24, 2024 by ecwlarcombe

I have reproduced my Member Question (and the answer) as follows:

  1. b) Councillor Ewan Larcombe will ask the following question of Councillor Coe: Cabinet Member for Regulatory Services: River Thames Scheme Channel One was removed from the flood alleviation project in 2020 because RBWM was unwilling/unable to contribute the required £53m partnership funding. The replacement Datchet to Hythe End Flood Improvement Measures project is moving forwards. Precisely how much partnership funding money will RBWM be contributing towards the new project?

Written Response: Due to timing constraints a written response was not able to be provided before the 5pm deadline, 1 working day prior to the meeting. A response will be published as soon as possible.

DATCHET

The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet ("wood"). In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta".lla. Datchet is first mentioned between 990 and 994, when King Ethelred made small grants of land here.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
