Flooding at Muscliff (Image: Ian Barringer)
THE terrible floods that we are witnessing right across all parts of the country are immediately being attributed solely on climate change.
No mention of the overbuild on previously undeveloped land.
The run off of rain has to end up somewhere, and that somewhere is in our rivers.
The government aim is to build 1.5 million more homes in the next five years, just to keep pace with population growth and the housing demand that comes with it.
Makes you wonder where places like Blandford and Wimborne will end up in the future batting order.
