chem1st Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sheffield is to receive a flood offense budget. Firefighters will be issued with air cannons to blast away the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's just been on Look Leeds that Leeds is to get £100 million government money for flood defences! I don't remember Leeds getting flooded. How much is Sheffield getting? Only if someone pays for it. Hilary Benn was asked how much the govt. would put in and he completely dodged the question. That went straight over Paul Hudson's head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyofborg Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 they need that amount of money, but whether they get it or not is another matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the population of leeds is around 715,000 people that equates to about £140 a head, presumably it would take at least 5 years to complete the necessary work they could add £30 a year to the council tax to pay for it.
