Letter from Ian Thompson
To Ewan Larcombe Datchet Parish Councillor.
Ewan.
I wish to place on record with the Parish
Council my dissatisfaction and disappointment with our Datchet Borough
Councillors having voted against Councillor Malcolm Beer's proposal
regarding, the addressing of ordinary watercourse and River Thames
management. Matters which have been raised by the communities with the
intention to seek resolution through the Thames Flood Forum with the
Environment Agency together with the support of the Royal Borough.
These matters are of prime public safety in the
time of flooding affecting the community and their actions and therefore
voting against the proposal is negative and a disgraceful slight against
Datchet residents and other riverside residents.
Neither Borough Councillors have been present at
recent D.P.C. public question times and are therefore unavailable to account
for their actions. This poses the point that I raised at the last council
meeting, that they appear to have disengaged themselves from the D.P.C. and
from the community for which they were voted to represent.
Please place this letter on file to the Datchet
Parish council within your flooding agenda section.
Ian Thompson.
