They'll want to be careful not to allow a precedent.......however I can see a few more landowners being minded to do works after this. If 10-20 decided to do it at once then it would drive a coach and horses through things.

I agree with @quattro, I expect that one by one they’ll drop their case. That way they’ll hope that it quietly gets forgotten about, as you say if they all dropped it at once it would set a precedent. I suspect they’ll drag it out over years so that it has the least impact and also keep Mr Price in suspense hoping that the worry/stress will curtail him from repeating the job without having to defend their untenable position.

Wish someone would speak up when the cameras go round interviewing people after their house has flooded and when they say to them do you think its cos of global warming they say no you twit its cos the waterways that were dug out by man hundreds of years ago to drain this area have been left to block up cos of a few water voals and a newt or 2 :banghead:

What puzzles me about it is that the water voles and newts were definitely there back in the days they were cleaned out.

Wind turbines on the farm here, when they were being built, S4C interviewed me about my thoughts, I was not complimentary about the Wind Farm Companies, my interview was never shown on TV, where as positive interviews were shown, we must remember (as above) the editing suits the narrative of the station. This is why I am looking forward to Andrew Neil's new GB News.

So now the EA are telling the residents of Bewdley that the temporary flood barriers that they stick up to try to stop flooding in the town are too dangerous so they're not putting them up again. Bewdley might get proper flood barriers by 2024 and until then they're on their own!

And as I’ve said before, those water voals and newts, and everything else that lives on the river banks seems to survive and reappear after 15-20 foot of flood water several times a year, so I’m damn sure they would survive, (and appreciate) some dredging every decade or so, as it would be a lot easier on them!
