BRILLIANT
They are going to flood the Douglas Valley with a dam
I bet they call the resulting lake "Lake Duggie"
We will be able to go Water Sking

Will Tesco's trolley wash be reduced to a trickle?
Will there be a ferry at Coppull Lane?
Will they call it Otis?
Who will have the fishing rights?
Has Barnes Wallace-Lane been informed?
Will there be a marina?
Will they call it Morris?
Will it be built by beavers?
Have the great crested newts arrived yet?

IT IS CORRECT.THE DAM WILL BE ACROSS THE VALLEY FROM THE WIDDRINGTON ROAD AREA OF SWINLEY ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE AT BOTTLING WOOD AT THE BOTTOM OF COPPULL LANE.IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM THE AREAS INVOLVED DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT !!!!

so if the water is held back behind the dam, how high up is it gonna go then ?? a proper meeting needs to be held with the people who want some questions answered.like i said previously, a hell of a lot of people dont even know about it.
