Summary

In the recent Windsor and Maidenhead flood liaison meeting, several key topics were discussed, including updates on flood management projects, the status of the Jubilee River, and local flooding issues.

  1. Thames Water Projects: David Mayfield from Thames Water provided an update on the Slough and Eton project, which has received approval to proceed. This project aims to enhance water treatment capabilities, reducing ammonia and phosphorus levels in the effluent. The project will also address the increase in discharge capacity to 1416 liters per second. Concerns about the impact of this increase on local watercourses were discussed, with Thames Water committing to ongoing consultations and planning.

  2. Jubilee River Naming: There was a request to consistently refer to the Jubilee River as the Jubilee Flood Relief Channel in official documents to avoid confusion over its naming.

  3. Flood Management Updates: The Environment Agency and RBWM provided updates on various flood management efforts, including the Datchet to Hythe End Flood Alleviation scheme. The scheme is progressing with public consultations planned for the summer to discuss potential flood mitigation options.

  4. Local Flooding Concerns: Residents and council members expressed concerns about local flooding issues, particularly regarding sewage discharge and the maintenance of local watercourses. Thames Water discussed their efforts to address these issues, including upcoming weed clearance and infrastructure improvements.

  5. Future Meetings and Actions: The council agreed on the importance of continued collaboration and communication among all stakeholders, including Thames Water, the Environment Agency, local councils, and residents, to effectively manage flood risks and address community concerns.

The meeting highlighted the community's ongoing concerns about flooding and the critical need for coordinated action and clear communication from all responsible bodies.
