Buildings on Flood Plains?……

…..not a good idea;  this is something that has to be considered by Planning Committe members. However, according to a news story today, the Labour Government are not taking flood risk seriously.

Commenting on today’s land use statistics that reveal that 10% of new dwellings were built within areas of high flood risk, Liberal Democrat Shadow Housing Minister, Lembit Öpik said: “With 10% of new homes still being built in flood risk areas, the Government is clearly failing to take flooding seriously.”  For more on this story, follow this link
