I didn't realise that those apartments were built on a flood plain. Interesting. However, more interesting than petty political sniping are the environmental impacts for the Warren that a continued rise of sea levels due to global warming will cause.
This is from the BBC website, although I'm unsure what Mr Broom believes he will achieve by making these threats: People living and working in and around a seaside town in Devon are considering taking legal action against the Environment Agency (EA).
