About Cookham.info
Cookham.info is an independent community resource providing live local information for Cookham village in Berkshire.
The site aggregates data from official sources into a single dashboard, making it easier for residents to check river levels, traffic conditions, roadworks, and planning applications.
Why does this exist?
During flood events, residents often need to check multiple websites to understand conditions. This site brings that information together in one place, with local context that generic government sites don't provide.
For example, we show specific thresholds like "Moor Road floods at 1.00m" - knowledge that's useful for Cookham residents but not available on the Environment Agency website.

River level thresholds are approximate and based on historical observations. Actual flooding depends on many factors.
