as council ‘cannot afford’ its part to protect riverside villages. A petition, which has garnered over 1,500 signatures, was heard at a full council meeting on April 27, urging the council to ‘honour its commitment’ by funding their part of the River Thames Scheme (RTS). The £640 million project was set up with three channels to protect 15,000 homes from Datchet to Teddington from flooding – but channel one, which protects Datchet to Bells Weir, will not be progressed. The chair of Wraysbury Parish Council (WPC) and the petitioner Margaret Lenton, who spoke on behalf of Old Windsor, Datchet, and Horton Parish Councils, said WPC is ‘convinced’ there are no alternative schemes to protect the villages from devastating floods such as the one in 2014.

The Best Spots for a Luxe Staycation Presented by Presented by
No fights? No worries, with the best spots for some stay-at-home fun
By Laura Martin Volvo
For those of us who live to holiday ( waves hands enthusiastically ) being grounded for the past year has meant a seriously limited amount of fun. No popping over to Berlin for the latest experimental art opening, no trips to Barcelona for beach-side music festivals, and any rosé-fuelled feasts of
fruits de mer in Sète have been categorically off-menu.
One big boon, however, is that no flights has meant no pumping CO2 into the atmosphere while we jet off somewhere sunnier, which leaves a self-satisfied glow that s (almost) as warm as Aegean sunshine. Besides, no foreign travel certainly needn t mean no fun. Being forced to stick to these shores is the perfect reason to explore pleasures that lie a little closer to home.
