There's some worrying points in this article.  Councillors who don't seem up to the job.

Is flooding new to this town? And if Terry Lowther falls asleep on the job, doesn't he think himself, it is time to pack it in?

It doesn't, so WHY MAKE IT UP?

So in light of DCC's inability to clear drains i have invested in my own flood defences that up to now have kept me dry on three seperate  occasions.  Now without my own defences i would have ended up with my feet in water these days it's every man for himself.
