Reading and Caversham Flood Alleviation Scheme Reading and Caversham flood alleviation scheme February and March 2020 public drop-ins feedback report June 2020 We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment. We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its impacts, including flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal erosion. We improve the quality of our water, land and air by tackling pollution. We work with businesses to help them comply with environmental regulations. A healthy and diverse environment enhances people's lives and contributes to economic growth. We can’t do this alone. We work as part of the Defra group (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), with the rest of government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and local communities to create a better place for people and wildlife.

We aim to increase the value of the area for the local community and biodiversity. The purpose of this report is to summarise attendee feedback from the recent drop-ins. During this series of drop-ins, we focussed on: Updating the community about the potential scheme design. Displaying scheme based material. Giving community members an opportunity to discuss and ask scheme based questions. Through holding these drop-ins, we sought to understand the local community’s views about the scheme and collect feedback. We held a series of 6 public drop-ins, from the 26 February to 13 March 2020. At each drop-in we had staff present who were able to speak about all the aspects of the project. We displayed materials that helped people visualise what the scheme could look like. We asked people for feedback through a form available at the drop-ins and an online survey. Unfortunately we had to cancel a 7th drop-in on the 20 March, due to Coronavirus restrictions. We want to be as transparent as possible with the feedback we received. This report includes all online and hard copy responses. High level feedback In total 140 respondents completed the feedback forms. 117 hard copy forms and 23 online surveys. The main highlights are: We received the majority of feedback from within the scheme area. Most people, found out about the drop-ins through the letter drop or email. With 54 respondents finding out by letter drop and 40 respondents finding out by email. People could select multiple answers for this question. The vast majority (78%) rated the drop-ins 5 (55%) or 4 (23%) on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being very useful. The vast majority (88%) had already heard of our work to reduce flood risk in Reading and Caversham. 20% thought that their previous feedback had been listened to, while 18% did not feel their feedback had been listened to. The remainder (62%) did not answer or had not provided any feedback in the past. The aspects of the drop-ins that people found to be the most helpful were: o Speaking to staff. o Landscape plans. o Before and after photos. 78% understood that there are a large number of people at risk of flooding in this area, 8% did not believe this, the rest did not answer or were not sure. 62% agreed with the need to reduce flood risk within the scheme area, 14% did not, the rest did not answer or were not sure. 59% said they agreed with the overall scheme design and 21% did not, the rest did not answer or were not sure. 4 of 41 66% of responders lived in a flood risk area and 21% did not, the rest did not answer or were not sure. From those in a flood risk area (93 in total), 14% had experienced flooding, 77% had not. 1 Drop-in objectives To continue to raise awareness of flood risk in the area and what people can do to prepare. To update the local community, show them new materials to help describe the design and to get feedback on this process. Environment Agency staff with participants at the Environment agency staff and public explaining Weller Centre venue. Flood risk materials. 2 Process We organised 4 internal drop-ins at Environment Agency offices. We held these in December 2019 and January 2020. We met with resident and interest groups through February and early March 2020. These gave us an opportunity to test the new materials and make any updates needed before engaging with the wider community. We ran the public drop-ins from 26 February until 13 March 2020. We held 2 of our drop-ins at weekends and in the evening to allow residents to attend outside working hours. The final drop-in was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Lockdown. 5 of 41 Table 1: Dates and venues for drop-ins, as advertised on postcards and posters 3 Drop-in promotion Letters, postcards and posters We posted 2050 letters within the flood scheme area, the letters were addressed to the named owner as listed at the Land Registry. We handed out over 350 postcards to residents and public. We asked local shops, cafes and other venues to put up A4 and A3 sized posters and postcards. 6 of 41 With permission from Reading Borough Council, we put posters on lampposts and noticeboards in north Reading along Caversham Road and the South Thames path, in central Caversham, along Gosbrook Road, in Christchurch Meadows and around Amersham Road area. Press event and social media We held a press event on 25 February. 5 media outlets attended. BBC South Television, Meridian Television, the Reading Chronicle, Get Reading and the Breeze 107.8. It was also covered by Heart, Henley Standard and Berkshire Live. Coverage was shown on BBC South, Meriden and online at Heart FM and 107FM the Breeze. Our public drop-ins were advertised on Environment Agency Twitter accounts, and through local community websites. 4 Feedback questions We asked for feedback from the community to help inform the next steps for the project. The feedback form is included in the appendices. 5 Feedback results We made the feedback form available in both hard copy and online survey formats. We hosted our online survey on the site Smart Survey. The survey was open throughout the drop-ins and remained open until 25 March 2020. At each drop-in we gave the option of filling in a hard copy of the feedback form or filling in the online survey on one of our computers. Participants were also given the survey link if they preferred to complete the online survey at home. Not all of the 19 questions were answered in each feedback form. We have included the category ‘not answered’ in the results. We received a total of 140 responses, including 117 hardcopy feedback forms and 23 online responses. We have reported on the combined responses to the online and hardcopy forms in this report. We looked at the total number of responses for each question. We had the most responses in Question 1 (How did you find out about the drop-in?) with a total of 138 responses. The least number of responses was for Question 6 (Is there anything else that would help you better understand the flood risk in the area, and our proposals to reduce this risk, that was unavailable today?) with only 44 responses. 7 of 41 Number of responses to each question 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 Q10 Q11 Q12 Q13 Q14 Q15 Q16 Q17 Q18 Q19 Total Responses Who came to the events?

  • What Causes Flooding in Reading and Caversham?
    How can we reduce flooding in north Reading and Lower Caversham? What causes flooding in Reading and Caversham? 1947 flooding Major floods, on the scale of 1947 are very rare… history shows they do happen, and could happen again. Photograph source unknown North Reading and Lower Caversham have flooded many times in recent years. In 2012 and 2014, low lying areas of Caversham flooded, causing internal flooding to residential and commercial properties in the area. You may also remember the flooding in 2003, where many houses were surrounded by floodwater and a number of roads, including Napier Road, Amersham Road, Paddock Road, Send Road and Piggots Lane were closed, some for as long as 5 days. The Environment Agency maintains rivers and streams and operates weirs and locks in and around Reading and Caversham. This work reduces flood risk from smaller, more regular floods, but more significant flooding cannot be reduced by watercourse maintenance alone. The best scientific evidence suggests that severe weather events are likely to be more frequent and more intense in future, increasing the risk of flooding across the United Kingdom. We are investigating how we can reduce the impact from a major river flood on a scale similar to 1947. A similar sized flood would cause major disruption to the local economy, access routes and residents at large. It would create road blockages, transport disruptions and could cause water damage to homes and businesses. We take climate change projections into account in all modelling and planning work. Based on for the likelihood of more frequent flood events, we have identified a range of options which could reduce flooding in the north Reading and lower Caversham area.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Social Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Social History Social Character and Communal Life Caversham’s population was long split between the main settlements of Caversham and Lower Caversham in the south (which had ready access to the trading and social opportunities offered by neighbouring Reading), and the small scattered hamlets and farmsteads of the parish’s central and northern parts. Manor houses in the south-east (latterly in Caversham Park) were intermittently occupied by high-status resident lords from the Middle Ages onwards, but landownership became increasingly divided, and by the 18th century the riverside settlements were relatively ‘open’, with strong outside links and (by the 19th century) marked religious Nonconformity. Major residential development in the late 19th and early 20th century turned Caversham, Lower Caversham and (later) Emmer Green into suburbs of Reading both socially and administratively, while the northern upland areas remained rural. The Middle Ages During the Middle Ages Caversham manor was held by a succession of leading aristocrats of mainly comital rank and above, including the earls of Pembroke and Warwick. William Marshal (1146/7--1219), regent of England from 1216, chose Caversham as one of his main residences, and his generous endowment of the shrine and chapel there may have been part of a larger investment in the manor house, which stood close to the Thames.1 William kept a huntsman at Caversham,2 and either maintained or created the deer park, which was stocked with ten does in 1223.3 Free warren (the right to small game) was enjoyed as ‘of old’.4 Later lords maintained the house, which saw sporadic royal visits from Henry III,5 Edward I,6 and Edward II.7 Caversham was one of Margaret de Lacy’s regular residences 1 Above, landownership; for chapel, below, relig.

  • Proposed Resident Permit Scheme, Lower Caversham
    1 PROPOSED RESIDENT PERMIT SCHEME, LOWER CAVERSHAM - OBJECTIONS TO TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDER APPENDIX 1 – Summary of letters of support and objections received to Traffic Regulation Order Street/Summary Objections/support/comments received. Summary of responses: Objections – 50, Support – 11, Comment – 11. 1) Resident, Support Totally 100% support these proposals. Area: Montague Street I do however have a concern that false and objections may be made as there is no way on this objection form does it ask to provide evidence of address and name i.e. entitled to have an objection, please can you confirm what the process is for making sure there aren't suspect objections?? 2) Business, Comment We are a [REDACTED] business operating out of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Vehicles belonging to our customers are always on 1 of our 2 sites. Our staffs do park on the road, as a business how many parking permits can I apply for.? 3) Road user, This is the gradual erosion of any form of on street parking. Not everybody is lucky enough to be able to Comment afford the (extortionate) station car park charges nor afford or able to get spaces in the other less expensive car parks. Some people have no choice but to park and then walk into Reading. It also requires a cost to the Area: General residents but they are still not guaranteed a space either. If, as with Patrick Road and others, which haves had permit parking introduced, there are frequently empty spaces. All it does is push cars into the non-permit areas, thereby compounding the problem.
