It was a record breaking event: 14" of rain in 24hrs. The rivers were 5mtrs above normal, do people really expect there to be a barrier each side of the river over 15' tall. I can just hear the squealing about not having a nice view anymore.
With climate change there will be more extreme events many of which could never be protected from flooding, remember Boscastle?
