How history repeats itself. In the 80's everyone was building there own reservoirs, later building dams and flood protection in the same areas.

I’m sure a lot of farmers could be accused of flashing at every pee.

Wow, so some plonker’s forecast of something vague happening in 60 years’ time is now a reason to refuse planning permission? Amazing. Mind, I’ve sat through 2 council planning meetings so I don’t know why I’m surprised.
Everyone should go to at least one of these meetings to see just how utterly fekking bonkers the whole system of govt is and how mindnumbingly stupid and lazy some of the people in govt are.

As they never dredge the rivers now then probably....
the problem as i see it, the southeast of the country and the counties round london are the most populated and because london is situated here in the southeast, also major ports and close to france, makes this area very sought after to both work and live ? plus its one of the driest parts of the UK? The idea of leveling up, ie, more businesses, companies being based outside of london and the home counties is a good idea?

What do we want?
This that and the other!
Where do you want it?
Not near our houses.
How should we pay for it?
Tax someone that's not me.

That’s what wins votes in the modern world though. Too many of the electorate can’t work it out when they’re being told porkies. Once you’re in power you can ignore the promises you made to get you there.

Uses huge amounts of electricity, why do it when we have plenty of water, it just needs some long term thinking to move it to where we need it, with some creative thinking it could also reduce flooding risk by pumping water from river during excess flow periods

Water companies are on a par with fuel companies as the biggest rip off merchant around.
Charging people for something they get for free-all they have to do is provide the infrastructure .
Yet they can't even do that properly.
