Put it this way every man and dog will be in full support of the work done and except the packham brigade , the obvious point in defence here is none of the houses have flooded meaning many families not being rehoused during covid , I rest my defence.

Yep, if ever there was a time to clear the waterways you would think its now , with all the industrial estates collecting water and housing estates, but wildlife seems to be the priority for some reason .
How do they justify it on wildlife reasons
anything living on dry land gets drowned
Anything living in the river gets washed over the banks in floodwater to dye on land when the water recedes

May have plus points on the TB problem in the area tho if it floods !!
I can see the EA dragging their heels taking JP to court, public opinion is appearing to be over 50% in support of the work done, even the dimmest of them must be able to see the merits of the job and many holding the purse strings will see the cost difference. The insurance industry will be in favour of reduced risks, the list is pretty long. The only thing the EA can bring a case with is their flawed principles.

Because it’s an easier life driving about agreeing with popular opinion and telling people they can’t do stuff, compared to taking responsibility and making difficult choices contrary to what the local nimbys think.

Probably more likely for various flooded individuals taking the EA to court citing the work done on the Lugg as an example of how things should be done, either way it shows the EA in a very poor light.

And justifiably so. Listening to EA spokeswomen and spokesmen today on the telly talking about the flooding and how they were helping, I felt like chucking a brick at the box!!

Dave Throup(the EA guy who helped kick start this trial by social media with a tweet) was waxing lyrical on twitter today about how many thousand homes they are protecting during the current flooding.
Somebody posted the above photo of the lugg this morning, commenting on how well it was coping.
No response funnily enough

So what's happened way downstream now that all that water has been speeded up?
I agree with what they did but has it caused problems elsewhere. Is the river mouth keeping up?
