Questions from public – with my answers 18/1/2024

Posted on January 18, 2024 by ecwlarcombe

Please see below some questions with my answers

  • After more than 10 years.  Is it true that no constriction work has started due to the fact that no contracts have been signed because no contractors have been appointed ?
  • ANSWER – No construction work has started.  The project design has not been completed and there is a consultation starting 22/1/2024.  The project then needs Development Consent Order approval.
  • I  was surprised to discover that Runnymede Borough Council are as bad as RBWM regarding dodgy investments and financial management
  • ANSWER – I think RBWM debt is in excess of £200m.  I do not know about Runnymede.
  • Should a Development Consent Order have been signed years ago
  • ANSWER – A Development Consent Order is simply a special type of planning application normally used on big projects (NSIP’s).  They are determined by the Planning Inspectorate.
  • Do you have a copy of the agenda for these forthcoming consultations. ?
  • ANSWER – The dates, times and places have been published but I have not seen the actual EA/SCC consultation.  It should appear on or before 22/1/2024.

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.
