There’s been little publicity around this, yet public
consultation apparently closes Friday, 1st April.
Stockport Council seems to be far more interested in flooding on the
east of the town, as it attracts more grant funding due to areas declared as
priority i.e., much deprivation.
Those in flood zones 2 and 3 ( 1 being very low risk) face home insurers are racking up insurance due to possibility of
flooding.
Another suggestion was there
are many culverts about which SMBC don’t have records, and unless they are mapped properly, never mind toxic dumps, there could be others yet to be revealed. It’s too
late when major events occur. A common feature of dumping is a stream nearby so it
can ‘disappear’.
