_________________________________________________________________________
OPEN
FORUM
– Mr Gordon Harris spoke from the gallery to ask why the flood signs had
been removed from the Stanley Spencer Gallery and not placed elsewhere in
the village. Cllr Ricardo said that the Environment Agency took down the
signs to allow for the renovation of the Gallery. The signs will not be
positioned elsewhere because the EA considered that everyone at risk of
flooding was on the Floodline telephone number and would receive automated
messages. Cllr Wellman said that Floodline would not help the visitors to
Cookham who also needed to be warned of these risks.
