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?
