Eco-town
or eco-drown as flooding hits Ford
26 May 2008 from the
Bognor Regis Observer
The
site of the proposed new eco-town in Ford has been hit by flooding. Heavy
rain last night and this morning (Monday 26th May) have left many roads
covered in water as the rain struggles to drain away.
Campaigners
against the proposed eco-town said it showed the site was not suitable for
development. "Some flood plain!" said co-chairman of Communities Against
Ford Eco-Town, Terry Knott.
"And
of course,
with 5,000 to 20,000 houses, the water run off will be much worse"
