The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Environmental Agency has sent word that the River Thames Scheme Channel that was proposed for within Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, is not going ahead following the decision by the Sponsorship Group to not include it, as the Borough was not able to commit to its contribution at this time.
Flood risk remains a very real threat in the area, with a history of floods that have had a devastating effect on communities. Working together, the Royal Borough and the Environment Agency are looking into the different options there may be to try and reduce the flood risk to these communities. Funding sources and timescales are still unknown at this stage as we are still considering what options there are. We are aware of a number of suggestions already to improve the situation and would really like to hear from you if you have any ideas that you think should be considered as part of this initial scoping work. All ideas will be collated into a report and the report will be used to shape what happens next and shared with stakeholders.
Please send any suggestions to THM.Schemes@environment-agency.gov.uk.
