Renishaw, Eckington, Catcliffe and Waverley all still flooded

I saw that on Look North , it's time that the bloody Council took more care in sorting the flood barriers out . It's not on saying it won't happen again , of course it will

As I've said before, post 2007 they did sort flood defences. The problem is that there was no co-ordination with Sheffield council. RMBC installed defences for the level of water that caused the 07 floods but then SCC installed flood defences which has caused more water to head downstream and overwhelmed the defences in Catcliffe etc.

Aye, when your entire home and possessions are ruined by flood water, untreated sewage and whatever else flowing the through the house, and your spending the night in a sports hall with your kids in tow, stop being a wimp and just get a grip eh?

I saw last nights Look North report.  Carefully chosen figures spouted but not a word about all buildings, houses as well as industrial units, that have gone upon the nearby flood plains.

 

The water has to go somewhere, it looks like it's diverting to Catcliffe.

Well something must have gone wrong somewhere despite all the millions spent on flood defences & dredging / clearing of rivers. 

 

Heard Paul Hudson last night state there was actually LESS rainfall this time round than back in 2007.
