Sewage Issues

There is a back sewer that runs through the Hopkins Farm field that faces onto Valley Road. The sewer then runs along the back of the row of the white cottages through to Boss Ln where there is a junction with the Boss Ln sewer. This sewer had been causing spillages in the farm field and in late January started spilling into the garden of Woodland Cottage on Valley Road.

After many visits by Thames Water, including removal of a partial blockage, a tankering operation and CCTV work, we think this problem is now sorted, although we have not received confirmation of this from TW.

Floods Meeting

We are expecting a community meeting to be finalised for late this month to address the flooding issues in the Warrendene area and Bryants Bottom. This meeting is not a direct replacement for the cancelled meeting with Jilly Jordan but is with Andrew Morsley of the River Thame Conservation Trust, who has been spearheading the Natural Flood Management analysis in our area. There will also likely be representatives from Bucks Council we understand.

We will be putting leaflets through the doors of houses in Warrendene Road as far as Perks, from the Harrow along Valley Rd to the Hopkins field, also in Bryants Bottom. The meeting will be of particular interest to those affected by the flooding but is a public one and other interested residents are very welcome.

Program of Work in Warrendene & Bryants

Work on the Warrendene Rd ditch and drainage network was expected to start the week commencing 23 February but did not. We are presently pursuing this but may be 11-12 March.
