One of the clear answers to all this flooding whether its now or in the future is for the major parties to have a good future flooding strategy instead of their usual can't organise a piss up in a brewery type strategy which has failed time after time..

There ARE plans set out, but locally. After all each area will be different.

Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs)
LLFAs are county councils and unitary authorities. They lead in managing local flood risks (i.e. risks of flooding from surface water, ground water and ordinary (smaller) watercourses). This includes ensuring co-operation between the Risk Management Authorities in their area. Under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, LLFAs are required to::
- prepare and maintain a strategy for local flood risk management in their areas, coordinating views and activity with other local bodies and communities through public consultation and scrutiny, and delivery planning. They must consult Risk Management Authorities and the public about their strategy.

Still no details from anybody of what specific actions could have been carried out in the past few days, that would've helped the situation. Just a nonsense "we would've handled it better".
