2025 New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on January 1, 2025January 1, 2025 by ecwlarcombe
  1. I will continue to identify, expose and hold to account the organisations and individuals with responsibility for flood defence but who are failing to use available permissive and enforcement powers to protect those at risk.
  2. I will look harder at both the efficiency and effectiveness of flood defence expenditure.
  3. I will expand my capability to share what I know with those ultimately responsible for flood defence and also the wider community who provide the funding.

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.
