Wraysbury River at Moor Lane - EA negligence!!
Below is is a view upstream of the Moor Lane off-take in Staines taken on 25/5/2010. The off-take flow control structure is to the left and enables flood water to by-pass the downstream section of the river.. It appears that the conveyance capacity of the Wraysbury River is now severely limited due to unrestrained weed growth over 75% of the channel width Please note that although the left-hand flood bank is beautifully mown, the EA appears unable to maintain the watercourse.
Message to the EA - If you can make the time to clear this watercourse, please let me know.
Below is a view of the off-take that operates when the water level rises.
