Re: UK Flooding
We go through flood problems each year, when bad weather hits the UK. I used to work in Wraysbury, which was hit badly last year.
Its not just about Global warning. Its about investment - something this and previous governments have forgotten about.
We spent millions on saving the financial section of London by building the Woolwich Barrier.
That was to protect the City of London. If there is a surge of tide up the Thames Estuary, the first place to get hit by flood water is Kent. That would be devastated.
I live near a river, and the river Thames.
We need investments in all area's that local councils feels it needs protecting.
Just heard on the radio that a councillor in Lancashire warned Cameron and Co several years ago that the area was a disaster waiting to happen.
The Environment agency has been cut over the years.
Put it this way, in Scotland, they have more rainfall than any other part of the UK. Does that suffer heavy flooding.
Maybe the members in Scotland can answer that one
The UK need investments on flooding.
