§ 51. Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the recurrent flooding of the River Roding in the region of Clare Gardens, Barking, and to the damage caused to gardens and inconvenience to the public; whether he is aware that this nuisance has contined unabated for many years; and what steps he is taking to secure some amelioration.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsYes. This flooding arises from the overflowing of the Mayesbrook. The River Roding Catchment Board have prepared an improvement scheme and have sent it to the Barking Corporation for their observations.
