Wraysbury Drain e-petition – September 2023 and still waiting

Posted on June 5, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

Wraysbury Drain is still blocked despite 1,324 names on an e-petition that I raised in September 2023. The petition stated: ‘We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to confirm their support for the equitable planning, construction, maintenance, and management of the existing and proposed land drainage infrastructure and unblock the Wraysbury Drain at Hythe End, which has not been dealt with, after having been reported to the previous Council Administration 4 years ago.’

Petition started by and submitted by Ewan Larcombe.  This ePetition ran from 19/09/2023 to 19/03/2024 and has now finished.  1324 people signed this ePetition.


The e-petition can be found here
