Implement a sustainable flood alleviation approach to upland areas

Petition Details

Following the very serious Boxing Day floods which has resulted in very extensive damage to our community following two serious floods in June 2012 it is time for a re-think on flood policy which hitherto has concentrated on containing flood waters in the river channel which is costly and inflexible

Additional Information

I have prepared an article which I have published on LinkedIn at:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flood-alleviation-scheme-upper-calder-valley-other-pennine-bradshaw

Please read this article and form your own view as to whether there is a better way than simply raising river walls of controlling flooding in upland areas and hence the benefits then accruing downstream. It is written specifically around the Calder Valley but the principals also apply to other upland areas around Britain.
