The title is absolutely correct;-
Flooding in Datchet was needless in two locations 1. in Southlea Road where the 200 year old flood bank was removed without planning consent or notice by the owners of dwelling POPLARS. The property owner is considered responsible for any effect on other dwellings affected by floodwater emanating from this site,
Also the Environment Agency for not enforcing replacement as they are also responsible for the embankment up to 8m from the water edge.
Also the RBWM as the previous Council stated for four years that £10m was available for flood defences which has been proven was untrue, there was and is no money.
2. Garden and sewage flooding in Horton Road was exacerbated by Thames Water (as riparian owners) failing to clear the Datchet Common Brook thus raising ground water levels, together with failing to maintain foul water drainage pipework.
