I gather Whalley has been inundated after the storm like Hebden Bridge. What a shame and one wonders just what flood prevention measures costing millions were carried out. They failed miserably.
Just when the Lower Trent was getting back to a better level BOSH up it goes again. I bet its perfect come March 15th.
I would say that it is impossible for any flood prevention to hold back the water that came down over the last few days. It would be cheaper to move the houses.
