General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
alot of what you say is correct, my contention is that the floods at Newtown aren't caused by water from whelley but by lack of natural drainage brought about by the stadium, the robin park development and more recent works.
of course the dip in the road on soho street filled and we have had a couple of unusual weather events, but the volume of water now entering the river via the drains is far greater than it ever was.
Take a look at a pre damm pic of the bottom of Coppull mill lane.
it was a large valley enough to accommodate any flooding, people there say they never had any flooding for 30 years.
not that they ever did as the houses are 25 feet above the water level
will get back to this later.
going to watch Joe Longthorne at the Monaco
