The flood in July 2007 affected the village significantly, with many houses damaged and plenty of "near misses." Water courses were dredged and field drains were improved, but I'm not aware of any work to maintain these improvements since then. Should there be a review and maintain programme every 5 years or so? (For those who weren't here in 2007, Brize Norton recorded 137mm of rain in about 14 hours on 20 July).
