Drain on resources

From someone with self proclaimed common sense

I do not need you consultants to advise me on this one. To councils, businesses and home owners - keep your drains and down flows clear and unblocked so that when it rains you do not get flooding events. What has prompted this statement of the bleeding obvious - nothing more than noting the number of gutters flooded and premises with water pouring from roofs or onto the roads over the past few weeks. Get it sorted thickos !

    Quite so.

    Also, don’t build on, or otherwise interfere with flood plains; allow watercourses space for expansion when it rains copiously.

    Quite so - unusual events can and do happen, so be careful if buy a house within 6 m of a small burn as it may change to become a raging torrent many time the original volume.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
