Dumfries Flooding,
I am an infrequent visitor to Dumfries now a days and have read the comments on the flooding problem following Andrew Taylor’s Post.
comments which reflect many conversations I have had over the proposal to spend several fortunes ‘repairing’ the drainage, WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE
THAT IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL !
The Council are about to spend a large amount of taxpayers money on an investigation into the already proposed scheme of wasted money.
Bail out of this vanity project NOW, invite some local knowledgeable plant and drainage operators for their comments and ideas.
There are a host of local people of practical common sense who could give valuable advice in return for allowing them their chance to put their ideas forward.
Afford their meeting with Tea, coffee quality sandwiches and cake. It could be money well spent.
