[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 5881692, member: 430"] Its a political scam , they haven't got the resources to maintain the river so are using natural England money to say they have done something if it floods houses , as the river eventually silts up they are putting the at risk houses more at risk regardless of the height of the banks , they are doing it here protecting houses that no one locally can remember actually having a problem with the river , so I expect they will claim it has worked really well helped the wild life , destroyed some land though that was hard won in the past[/QUOTE] It’s amazing isn’t it.....agriculture gets the blame for wildlife reductions.....and yet large scale flooding of animal habitats encouraged by humans is considered perfectly acceptable. Dare I ask what happens if there are badger setts on this flooded land? [/QUOTE]
