Systemic failure' over flood prevention

By James Moules – Local Democracy Reporting Service

There has been a “prolonged and systemic failure” to help communities affected by severe flooding, a councillor has said.

Ewan Larcombe criticised Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) council’s record on flood prevention.

The Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury Ward councillor said his constituency had been particularly badly affected in the past, including in 2014.

The council said it “shared residents’ frustration”.
