Wraysbury Drain still blocked 28/5/2024

Posted on May 28, 2024June 4, 2024 by ecwlarcombe

It is now 28/5/2024 and the Wraysbury Drain is still blocked at Feather’s Lane – leading to upstream failure of the land drainage and saturation at The Green.  The stagnant water is trapped and now covered in Duckweed.
