Memorandum submitted by Paul Rolph (FL
44)
In my experience it would be worthwhile to decide
the difference between "maintenance and Conservation"
particularly in respect of riverbeds and river banks. Clearing
blocked trees and weeds around the stream in Upper Slaughter,
instantly lowered the floods of the road.
Particularly in years gone by in Wiltshire my
previous property in Lower Bemerton would not have flooded in
the winter, had the river had been cleared of Debris and overgrown
weeds.
