FLOODING: Following my comments last week, I received a call from a resident of George Street whose garden was under water for the third time in a month.

Having made enquiry at the local council concerning the state of the brook, she was redirected to the river authority in Frimley.

It seems that it is only responsible for maintenance of the banks and that all other maintenance of the brook is the responsibility of the homeowners flanking it.

For further information on flood risk management, call 01276 454640.
