Tom @cranium84.bsky.social · 10/07/2026My dad remembers flooding - in the late 1970s from the River Brent, before a flood relief scheme. Oldfield Lane North is probably at a greater risk of flood now due to the drains being blocked and not maintained - which Beavers will not solve. 000 0
Tom @cranium84.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Sadiq, I support a lot of what you do as Mayor, but this story about the beavers preventing flooding in Greenford Station is simply not true.
