Floods in Hull





Now there is something very strange about this summer's weather. Hull has been especially badly hit by floods, and it seems like it will take months for things to get back to almost normal. There is talk about schools being unable to open for six months or more. I find this very strange - there were terrible floods in Carlisle last year and they seemed to recover fairly quickly. I suspect there will be fundamental difficulties with repairs and construction work, lack of proper insurance cover, and costs of course. However, constant bleating over lack of government money isn't going to help anyone. What is required is a bit more organisation and leadership.
