20+ Jubilee River deaths

Posted on November 15, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

This is an extract from the Dorney Parish Council Minutes of the 14-7-2026 meeting.

PC/62/26 To consider supporting the research project on deaths in the Jubilee being conducted by Bill Dax.
Bill Dax is researching the 20+ deaths that have occurred at the Jubilee River to identify measures that may help
prevent similar incidents in the future.
To support this work, access to information from the Coroner relating to recent deaths is required. The Council has
agreed to support the request for this information, provided it is made clear that Dorney Parish Council is acting
solely in support of the request and is not accepting any responsibility or liability in relation to these incidents.
Responsibility for water safety measures, including appropriate signage, rests entirely with Buckinghamshire Council
and the Environment Agency.
