    I'm sorry but you can't completely blame the reeds for flooding even though some here would love to. The sheer amount of water that flowed through was a freak event, maybe once or twice a decade. The drains were overloaded and the storm drains could not cope. Reeds were not responsible for the huge floods at Hollis Motors, River and London Road, all upstream of Charlton Green, all of which were far more serious than Maison Dieu Road.

    Back in 2007, in the downpour mentioned above, Maison Dieu Road was turned into a far worse river when the reeds were about a half of their present volume.

    Well, we had a new colony of Water Voles along Barton Path that had found themselves a new home amongst the reeds for the first time this year. I expect they have now been swept away.
