I recently went down to Wheatleys Eyot to meet with residents living on the island following concerns raised about illegal moorings and subsequent flooding on the island. Whilst it is good news that a number of the illegal moorings have now moved on, this is an ongoing issue for Wheatleys Eyot residents, so I have raised their concerns with the Environment Agency directly to see a permanent solution.
Thank you to the residents for meeting with me and taking the time to show me around.
