barnie41   29 #52 Posted October 21, 2023 The 2007 floods were the worst since the Dale Dyke flood in 1864.  2007 was described as a 1 in 150 year weather event.  16 years later, here we are again.  We are surrounded by hills with a number of rivers that were developed by water run off historically. That doesn't change.  It is about climate change and the fact that, no matter what interventions we put in place, the volume of water being deposited in very short periods of time is increasing and we can' build another major river to help it run off.  Deny it all you like. There are thousands of home and business owners who deserve a little more respect, never mind the ones who will be affected in future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rogets   141 #54 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I personally am in favour of  the cutting of car usage for other people.  Yesterdays storm was proof that something needs to be done  Fella who lives at number 16, recently bought a 17 plate diesel Audi, cars like that need forcing off the road.absolute heap of junk, makes our neighbourhood look like a slum Edited October 21, 2023 by rogets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Baron99   809 #56 Posted October 21, 2023 Heard some poor bloke speaking on Radio Sheffield this morning. He lives at Catcliffe & said the flood water was half way up his stairs & was blaming the flood gates being closed further up stream for Catcliffe being flooded again.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
