DHEFIM and Partnership Funding?

Posted on June 3, 2025June 3, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

So now that we have this consultation on Partnership Funding Policy – what happens to the ‘Datchet to Hythe End Flood Improvement Measures’ project that was supposed to replace Channel One of the river Thames Scheme (RTS) which was removed from the RTS project in 2020 due to failure to meet partnership funding requirements?  I think this is a really good question!  How about some answers please?

(I believe that DHEFIM is – or may be – being considered simply because the undefended villages of Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury are now trapped between the MWEFAS upstream and the RTS downstream.  Consequently RTS is no longer a coherent project – which will not look good when it comes to the Planning Inspectorate and consideration of the request for a Development Consent Order.)

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.
