Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough ready for action
The Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough is geared up for flooding should a problem arise.
At present there are two sections of the River Thames within the borough on the Environment Agency's Flood Watch:
· From Hurley Lock to Boulters Lock at Maidenhead, including Hurley, Bisham, Marlow, Cookham Dean, Bourne End and Cookham
· From Victoria Bridge, Windsor, to Bell Weir Lock, including Datchet, Old Windsor and Wraysbury.
Cllr Colin Rayner, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead highways, transport and environment, said: "We would like to reassure residents that, while the EA does not anticipate any flooding of residential properties, the borough is prepared for action. Please can you tell your friends and neighbours about the flood watch and listen to your local radio for flood warnings.
"Please have a look at our website for regular updates.
"We remain in regular contact with the EA and will continue to keep a close eye on the situation using CCTV which is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are also keeping crews on standby."
Cllr Rayner added: "We would advise people to drive carefully in areas where there is standing water."
