Cataclysm on East Coast

I'm fed up with all this doom and gloom about floods on the East Coast, Lincolnshire.

East Lindsey council now want Caravan sites to be only occupied over the summer 6 months because of the risk of flooding in Winter.

They've just had an exhibition "celebrating"the 60th anniversary of the flood disaster in 

1953, (actually it is next year in January) they want to highlight (FRIGHTEN us about) the 
increased risk of flooding due to Global warming.
ELDC have also refused planning permission to Southview leisure to open their park for 
holiday makers for the full year and are limiting them to 10 months. New applications will 
only be 6 months as I said because of the winter risk.
Excuse me but what about the residents? Do they somehow remain immune from flooding over 
winter? Or will future planning rules restrict residents to 6months of the year. Where do 
we have to go in winter (into Caravans!!). Will new builds (if there ever are any more) be 
restricted to Summer only? This is all ridiculous

Actually look at the facts. The Sea defences are vastly improved since 1953.
The Environment agency spend £6m a year on them.
Since 1953 the population (houses) must have increased 10 fold since then - why impose these 
restrictions now - surely its already too late. They must PROTECT us.
What do they do in Holland etc. What about London - a surge will affect millions as well but 
we're only country bumpkins - not worth the bother here, there's nothing worth protecting? 
Actually what about the Theddlethorpe Gas terminal. If that goes under then the country has 
a BIG problem - no gas to heat your homes etc 

Why don't they go the Whole Hog and buy all us residents out so we can move to higher land. Of course those on benefits won't have to buy another house they can rent one FREE on their benefits - just move them. At £6m a year over 10 years they can buy up 400 of the average house at £150k. Of course many homes are worth less here as prices are lower so more can be bought. The Environment Agency have a 50 year plan anyway so that equals 2000 homes and they could put more money in and get it over with. Then don't bother defending the shoreline. Let the Caravanners come for summer and take a risk.
