Yet another story of under- (no) investment in vital #infrastructure.
We know that #climatechange is increasing the incidence (and likelihood) of #flooding, yet England's flood defences are increasingly in poor repair & neglected.
While the proportion in bad repair remains below 10% for those communities behind the decrepit barriers/structures, this will be of little comfort.
Once again #austerity & the #Tory wreckers are taking their toll.... its just madness!
