Agency shares our fears of flooding
The attempt by Cllr Bower to blame the recent flooding on a few blocked ditches will fool no-one, especially the residents who are downstream of the current housing development at Shripney. It is time Arun District Council took the comment about a ‘duty of care to existing residents’ seriously and stopped believing the fine theories fed to them by developers and their ‘experts’, and instead started to open their own eyes and ears about what is happening locally in respect to the flooding and the changing weather.
Balancing ponds work very well in theory. The problem is nature has no time for theories and loves proving them wrong. We are puny against such natural forces and should sit up and take note when things do not go as planned.
