Of course we wouldn't have half of the flooding problems if developers in the rush to make money didn't build on flood plains, that's the root cause of most of the problems, and whilst I applaud the rush to bolster town flood defences, all that does is shifts it all downstream to become someone elses problem. It's about time the Government looked at making it a requirement if building on a flood plain to produce housing along the lines of the Dutch where the whole house floats up.
