I WISH to point
out yet another serious stuctural failure to add
to ever extending and apparently never ending
list is taxpayer-funded repairs to the floored
Jubilee River design and construction that has
run into millions of pounds.
The Environmetal Agency's (EA) flood risk
manager, Ian Tomes, tries desperately to
minimise the current problem with misleading and
patronising comments which lamely terminate in
his claim that the Jubilee River saved 1,000
properties in Maidenhead from flooding to
approximately 740 properties downstream of the
Black Potts confluence at Datchet.
We ask what was the true risk that residents
were exposed to this last winter where the
maximum capacity of water handled was less than
half of the total scheme capacity advised and
yet the channel has failed again.
When parts of this system unexpectedly fail so
comprehensively, the question is clearly how
safe is the rest of it and will other parts fail
when the channel carries water near its untested
maximum stated capacity which is currently at an
already reduced redesign limit?
Responsibility for the apalling way the project
has been handled has not been forthcoming
despite the embarrassing catalogue of extensive
repairs since 2003.
Therefore thereare now obvious grounds for a
call to fully investigate the channel and hold
an enquiry into the structural integrity on the
basis it is a serious risk to residents.
