I also am a fan of G.Mombiot….but let’s look nearer to home.
It’s no suprise that the area which is being land scaped to accomodate ‘The Farm Holiday Park’ in Ferryside will cause some flooding onto the road. Removing living roots ,grass, shrubs,tree ,anything which hold, filter water slowly, naturally, is bound to an effect.
What a shame they have not planted some trees. Then perhaps they may do this. A caravan park with trees sounds nice to me!

One of my favourite journalists,George Monbiot, a contributor to the Guardian newspaper and respected author has just posted a fascinating article on why agricultural policies in the UK are contributing to increased flood events close to rivers. The Common Agriculture Policy as it relates to farm payments and the operating practices of water authorities all contribute to more water than necessary being discharged into rivers rather than being absorbed by the ground.
