COMING SOON – It is now mid-January 2026 and I am compiling a brief but concise report on the history, current position and future of the MWEFAS, RTS and DHEFIM flood defence projects in the Lower Thames area. The report will include examples of failure to maintain the existing land drainage infrastructure.
The report will
- expose the steady waste of time and money
- identify shortcomings in design and construction
- highlight the lack of oversight and accountability
- identify problems caused by legislation and policy changes
- illustrate failure of partnership working and funding
- include examples of failure to maintain the existing land drainage infrastructure.
MWEFAS = Maidenhead, Windsor & Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme
RTS = River Thames Scheme
DHEFIM = Datchet to Hythe End Flood Improvement Measures.
