The trouble with flooding - 4
See yesterdays BBC Gloucs report here
In highlight, residents were concerned about inadequate contigency planning (bowsers and communication) and wanted assurances it wouldn't happen again.
Let alone the £50 million clean-up bill the county of Gloucester (ie its residents) gets.
Anyone want to work out who will pay for the flooding in the regen area....which everyone accepts will happen, even the developer?

It should be the developer for 30 years according to current planning information.
Although, of course, on the artificial island THEIR problem will not be flooding it will be blocked drains and sewerage back up (after all the drain currently going across the site is not designed to cope with another 600 families, 250,000 visitors to a visitor centre, 100,000 visitors to the tramway and 30,000 visitors to the marshes).
Providing the developer doesn't change its name/company etc.
Reading that aricle, part of the problem in Gloucs was the failure of fresh water supplies due to system collapse, not just the floodwater alone.
So SW water will get that headache as well.
