From October to December 2020 our project team of engineers and construction experts worked extremely hard to complete the first phase of works as planned. This work included removing damaged concrete from around the weir and placing new sheet piling. During this phase of the repair works we were unable to operate the Jubilee River. Now that the first phase is complete we are able to safely operate the Jubilee River. The amount of flow we pass down the Jubilee River is determined by the level of flood risk to people and property and the safety of the weir and railway viaduct.

RBWM want to transform Royal Borough Libraries in a way that responds to the changing needs in the communities and the positive changes and different delivery methods they've been able to experiment with in response to the pandemic. They have undertaken a review of the service and have put forward proposals to reshape it in a way that builds on the good work already taking place in terms of digital development, community engagement and volunteering. Libraries are a statutory service but it is up to local communities to determine how that service is delivered and how it should be shaped. Their proposal is to close Datchet Library - see page 1 of the reduction proposals.

River Thames from Datchet to Shepperton Green Flooding is possible - be prepared
Yellow warning Snow & Ice Between 10:00 Wed 30 Dec 2020 and 06:00 Thu 31 Dec 2020
Background Overnight from 23 to 24 December we received up to 55mm of rainfall at various locations throughout the river Thames catchment. We then had another wet night from Storm Bella on 26 to 27 December. This fell on already saturated ground following a wet month in which the south east of England had already received 113% of its average monthly rainfall by 22 December. Rivers in the Thames catchment have responded to this rainfall and we have seen flows moving steadily downstream triggering Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings
