At a meeting with the Environment Agency this morning (Wednesday) the council was advised that the expected flooding in the borough is still predicted be less than the 2003 levels. Peak flow times in the River Thames are currently estimated as follows:
However, water levels are not expected to rise as high as first predicted – and although rain is expected for both Thursday and Friday, the Met Office advice is that less than a centimetre is forecast for each day, which will not affect the river levels. Teams from the streetcare and social care services are out and about again today (Wednesday) in the Cookham, Bisham and Hurley areas in the north of the borough and the Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury areas in the south. They are distributing leaflets with the latest information the council has received from the Environment Agency and checking that people whose homes are most at risk of flooding have a supply of sandbags to help them protect their property. Teams will also be in the affected areas overnight and residents who have questions or concerns are asked to look out for council staff in their distinctive high visibility jackets. The customer service centre is staying open until 8pm this evening to take calls and will re-open at 6am tomorrow morning. However, residents have 24-hour access to council help and advice via the out-of-hours number on 01753 853517. Residents are also being advised to check for the latest news on the Environment Agency’s Floodline 0845 988 1188 or its website www.environment-agency.gov.uk The council continues to have sandbags available on a priority basis to help protect homes most at risk of flooding – and will assist vulnerable and older residents who are unable take the necessary precautions themselves. Residents are being asked to look out for their elderly or vulnerable neighbours and for any neighbours who are on holiday. David Perkins, head of streetcare and operations, said: “We have been working closely with the Environment Agency and the police to ensure that we have measures in place to help our residents protect their homes from the expected flooding. And, while we hope they won’t be needed, we have plans in place for rest centres in both Windsor and Maidenhead should people unexpectedly need to move out of their properties. “We have made sure that a regular flow of information sheets, hand delivered to the areas most at risk, have given people the most up-to-date information available to us and the numbers to call for help and advice. “However, if there are still residents in the high risk areas who have not received sandbags they should call us immediately so we can get supplies to them as a matter of urgency.” Residents who need assistance from the Royal Borough should call the customer service centre on 01628 683804 (open until 8pm this evening and re-opening at 6am tomorrow) or the out-of-hours emergency number 01753 853517.
