Seventh Group Visit
For this visit the group headed upstream to the Hunter Street Bridge which had a large amount of debris on the centre support. This could have easily caused the entire bridge to become blocked if more debris had come down stream.
A large tree Trunk removed from the bridge is now in the mill stream where it can do less damage, the Heron is very happy to have a new vantage point for watching the fish from.
Various items have been removed from various locations during this period.
Three cones under the skatepark footbridge, along with a shopping trolley, just visible in the top-middle of the image.
Total removed from the area beneath the skatepark footbridge, a shopping trolley, windscreen wiper, mud flap, road closed sign, four road cones and other items of rubbish.
Two wheelbarrows found themselves stranded in the river and required rescuing on Tuesday.

Thank you to everyone that took part in the event we all had a great time made even better by the sun. A huge thank you to the Flood Action 4 Buckingham team and a big thank you to everyone who came to see us on the day.
