developers are one of the reason for floods so lets hope builders dont get permision to build at whinney hill cleator moor

Developers and turn their friends in the planning departments don't care, all they see are £££££ signs. When the problems they are warned about but choose to arrogantly ignore arise the problem is pushed elsewhere. Welcome to Copeland.

Having worked for the councils parks deparment years ago i was astounded to see whitehaven marina being closed at all times,the reason i say this is because all the surrounding hills woodhouse,hensingham,loop road,mirehouse have various becks and streams that all head in one direction-to the town centre,they run under coach road and under the market place and all surface water was released into the harbour through various outlets as people may remember seeing them,that is why the dock froze not because it was too cold but because it conatined so much fresh water,point being if it has no where to run it will backflow through mirehouse all the way to st.bees,also if the rain on the high ground cannot drain off it also will backfill,the council is fully aware off this but prioritised the harbour to the detrement of the surrounding area FACT!.

There is no need to search very far for the cause of extreme weather conditions.Its called global warming due to high levels of CO2 which is produced when we burn fossil fuels like oil or coal.Things are going to get a lot worse shortly and a lot of people will die and then they wont be burning fossil fuels.The CO2 levels will return to normal and life will go on for the few survivors that know they should go green.
