Very well said Mike, I couldn't agree more.....and you obviously had to get it off your chest at nearly 1.30am when I was fast asleep Hope you got some sleep after that.
It looks the flooding is going to get worse before it gets better too
As for building on rocks etc etc.....there is only so much high ground that can be built on and with the population increasing somewhat since 'Matthew's' day the houses had to go somewhere.
It's all too worrying and I don't think the answers are going to come any time soon
I could mention the bedroom tax and lack of one bedrooms properties but we would just fall out and argue.
Kind Regards
Edd.
What is wrong with the 'spare bedroom tax'? It has been in operation in private rents for years and it brings publicly provided and subsidised housing into line. Try getting housing benefit for a 3 bedroom private let when you only need 2. There has been too much noise on this subject and little fact.
Morning all,i find it strange ,this country has nice rivers, lovely canals, and resavours that go dry in the summers some mainly relying just on rainfall, now am i missing somthing here or is rocket science to build resavours where they can be fed by rivers and canals with lock gates for as and when needed, cant the farms be relocated to better and safer land that doesnt flood and given a hand starting up again just like the miners were helped to relocate years ago from up north, why dont we use the resavours more for sailing,fishing,hollidaying, they would make wonerfull holliday venues, the kids would love them log cabins, chalets, caravans, indoor persuit for rainy days, and the water sodden areas would then be under control the water either going into the resavours or along the canals down to the sea, and who wouldnt want a break on a canal boat, the canals them selves built right would be a nice place to live and all this creating thousands of jobs building,catering,new pubs ,shops, cafes, and all bringing in revenue in different ways instead of the powers at be saying theres going to be more of all this weather in the future and they say monies no problem, well get building then NOW
Cameron's back sliding on that comment today about money being no object. How long was it this time before he broke his word, just a day! Apparently he was just referring to the rescue effort not to preventative measures.
i do wish you would stop talking about a BEDROOM TAX, as i understand it if you are claiming benefits to pay your rent and rates you can only claim for the amount of bedrooms your family needs

you can have as many rooms as you like if you pay for them yourself
