THIS PROPOSAL TO SELL THE COTTAGES OCCUPIED BY LOCK KEEPERS IS ABOUT AS CRASS AS THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY CAN GET.

 

THE AMOUNT RAISED WILL BE MINISCULE IN RELATION TO THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR THE EA - HOWEVER THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE HORRENDOUS.

 

AT PRESENT WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT LOCK KEEPERS ARE ON SITE.   IN WINTER FAST FLOW CONDITIONS.   THEY ARE OUT ON THE WEIRS AT ALL HOURS ENSURING PROPER CONTROL OF THE WATER.

 

SINCE THE FAILURE OF THE JUBILEE RIVER IN 2003 THEY HAVE CONTROLLED FLOOD WATERS MAGNIFICENTLY.

 

IF THIS LUDICROUS PLAN IS ALLOWED TO PROGRESS I WILL POINT OUT IN ADVANCE THAT THE EA NO LONGER BENEFITS FROM CROWN IMMUNITY'

 

THE ACTION THAT IS PROPOSED EXPOSES THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TO ACCUSATIONS OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE.   THE PEOPLE CONCERNED IN THIS FIASCO HAVE UNLIMITED LIABILITY AND UNDOUBTEDLY CONSEQUENT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY THROUGH INADEQUATE PROTECTION WILL RESULT IN LAWSUITS DIRECTED AT THEM INDIVIDUALLY, AND COLLECTIVELY FOR COMPENSATION.
