Wigan flooding

Dear Sir,

The recent flooding inf Wigan is a timely reminder that the council must always remain vigilant and be fully prepared to respond to weather warnings to ensure damage is minimised.

However, suggestions by the Committee on Climate Change that ‘four times as many households in England could be at risk of flooding in the next 20 years’ are nothing but baseless scaremongering by those who pick and choose which scientific data they choose to follow.

Wigan, like anywhere else in the UK, will have suffered a severe bout of flooding at one time or another long before the so called climate change era. And the same can be said for periods of drought.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Nuttall,
