It was a day for Online Shopping !!
I've never understood why they've built so much on that flood plain.
I think the the Rev Long has a point....why do they do it ? The more we cover land with concrete and bricks, the more flooding there will be. Here where I live we lose a metre of cliff a year because of erosion...and they still allow building to go ahead in risky places...mad.
If this flooding problem kept happening in China they would solve it by making a new entrance into the supermarket and making the flooded bit it into a permanent lake.
They could have duck and fish swimming in it and a little garden around it and it could easily top it up in dry spells
Probably the cheapest land available Rev, as probably was the land on which the DW stadium was built.
Helen, as long as building and developments make money they will always take precedence over the environment.
Mick, I`ve just enjoyed watching your video `Wigan Birds`. There were a lot of blackbirds singing on Chorley golf course yesterday.
They have spent 12 million pounds on a new dam, it would have been cheaper, and more efficient to build new drains at Newtown.
i thought advertising was not allowed lol.
Blame the council road planners, that particular dip in the road where the roundabout sits is actually lower than the river when it's in flood.
Thank god they had spent £12million on the Dam. Otherwise with the volume of rain it put down on Friday, Newtown would have been devastated.
To see Mick`s video "Flooded ASDA Roundabout" click Forum, General in wiganworld.
Which Asda Ernest Wigan,Golborne, Goose Green or China
Tony Haslam, what a daft comment.
