Does it ever dry out near the by pass?

 

Narrow boat constantly moored up Quorn side of that footbridge always has a Range Rover next to it so they live on it, hope they’ve got waders on. Range Rover might be in the soar now.

I live on a boat in Barrow and used to moor at Proctors, when it flooded badly three years ago I was up to my shoulders in water when I got off the boat.

Thankfully where we are now the water only comes over the edge a couple of inches deep.

One solution to the problem of flooding... beavers! It pains me to give a link to The Guardian, but this article suggests that beavers' dams would help slow down the rate of flow of water feeding into our rivers, thus reducing the chances of river levels suddenly rising after heavy rainfall.

Beavers cause more problems than they solve.

Completely false. Literally all of the scientific evidence says Beavers drastically benefit the environment and biodiversity, hence they are a keystone species. Not to mention that they are a native species and truly belong here.

If the rivers need damming, let’s just dam the god damn rivers. We don’t need overgrown rodent to do it for us.
