Memorandum submitted by Pauline Farman
(FL 32)
Regarding the e-mail forwarded to members of
Bagendon Parish Council, I would just like to comment that, fortunately,
in this part of Gloucestershire we were not directly affected
by the recent flooding due, in no small measure, to the effectiveness
of the water meadows/flood plain which absorbed the flooded River
Churn. It is a lesson which must be learned in other parts of
the country that flood plains MUST be protected to reduce the
risk of inundation, as it is clear that the weather we have experienced
this year will not be a unique occurrence.
