It'd cost vast sums of money to do anything meaningful about the sort of flooding we're seeing here. It wasn't that long ago that we were talking about the need to spend equally large sums of money getting vast amounts of water from the north of England to the parched south only for large parts of the south to be flooded in 2014.

There are places in which river defences can be strengthened but that only shifts the problem elsewhere further downstream.
