New EA Jubilee (River) web site

Posted on June 14, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

This is information from the Environment Agency.

Please note the name change (the word ‘River’ is now replaced by ‘Flood Relief Channel’) and the EA claim to be the ‘main source of information’


The new Environment Agency engagement page about the Jubilee Flood Relief Channel is now live. 

Maidenhead Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme including the Jubilee Flood Relief Channel | Engage Environment Agency

This is your main source for information [?] about the Jubilee and other elements of the Maidenhead, Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation scheme. Find out the latest about maintenance activities and how we operate the Jubilee, as well as videos to explain how it works.

Find out if the Jubilee is being operated to reduce flood risk

We now have a Jubilee Operational Status section. We will update this section when we begin operating the Jubilee when flow increases in the Thames, and when we stop operating it once flows and levels decrease.

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.
