Dear Mr Evans,<\/p>\n
With reference to our email communications since 4th October 2023, regarding my concern about the Wraysbury Drain. Are we any closer to RBWM commencing work to unblock the drain and commence its ongoing maintenance ?<\/p>\n
I am saddened and disappointed\u00a0 that the effects of the January 2024 floods are still very evident in Wraysbury.\u00a0 The water in our once beautiful Splash is stagnant, the Wraysbury Drain along our village green is filled with stagnant, dirty water and the ground water on the Green has resulted in large pools of water appearing.<\/p>\n
In the 40 plus years that I have lived in Wraysbury I have never seen the likes of this before and it is now some 4 months since the flood.\u00a0 As a concerned resident, I am worried about any future floods while the drain remains blocked and the ground is saturated with ground water.<\/p>\n
The Green looks unlikely to dry out for sometime, I\u2019ve heard that our annual summer June fair\u00a0 is likely to be unable to be held on The Green this year.\u00a0 It also begs the question, will the cricket club be able to use it this year. I believe that maintaining the Wraysbury Drain is the responsibility of RBWM, that being the case,\u00a0 please can you tell me why RBWM has neglected it over recent years and not taken corrective action.<\/p>\n
I hope that now, being fully aware of the state of the Wraysbury Drain, RBWM will take steps to render it fit for purpose. Please can you give me a target date when RBWM think it will be fit for purpose.\u00a0 The Wraysbury Drain is a vital section of land drainage for our village and should convey water rather than behave as a stagnant longitudinal pond that simply reflects the groundwater level.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 look forward to your reply.<\/p>\n
Kind Regards<\/p>\n
Henry Perez,<\/p>\n
