Question for RBWM Council Meeting 20-11-2024

Posted on November 6, 2024 by ecwlarcombe

Member Question for 20-11-2024 RBWM Council Meeting

 Question to Cllr. Coe please – At our RBWM Council Meeting on 11-3-2024 it was RESOLVED unanimously that this council takes immediate action to ensure that the probability of flooding is minimised by ensuring that land drainage infrastructure is maintained in a condition fit-for-purpose.

Eight months on and despite repeated assurances the Wraysbury Drain is still blocked and not fit-for-purpose.  What is your understanding of ‘immediate action’ please?

END

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.
