Mr Brine also praised the phenomenal work of members of the community, including David Sullivan and Angela Forder-Stent of Twyford parish council and the rest of the team, parish clerk Sue Hedges and Cllr Stephen Godfrey in Sutton Scotney, and Harry Whorwood and Giles Vigor-Robertson paul wesley in Headbourne Worthy, who he said had basically given up work over the past few weeks to protect their communities.
He said: I am name-checking those people and talking about their community paul wesley spirit because it shows the response that communities can give to the devastation that flooding can bring, which many members have described. The stoicism and pragmatism that I have seen have been remarkable. From the constituents I have met over recent days, I would say that the older they are, the greater their stoicism and pragmatism is, because they have seen it all before.
Singling out the local Environment Agency, he told the House: Mike O Neill deserves a mention. He even went door-to-door with me in parts of central Winchester to talk to and reassure residents. He deserves great credit paul wesley for that.
At one point, water was flowing down the appropriately named Water Lane in Winchester, which the River Itchen runs past, at 12,000 litres per second very fast towards the ancient city mill. That was terrifying for residents. However, the multi-agency working and the good thinking of the Environment Agency prevented flooding in hundreds of homes. It deserves our thanks. The agencies have played a bad hand very well.
He went on to describe the huge roll of the dice in the lowering of several hundred one-tonne bags of gravel into the River Itchen from the bridge of the M3 motorway to restrict its flow and flood upstream farmland in Easton and saved Winchester, a process that had never been done before.
In closing remarks, he expressed his concern about the bids that the Environment Agency has asked Hampshire county council, as the risk management authority in my area, to put together for the six-year plan for 2015-16 to 2020-21, and in particular the feeling that this was far too rushed, and was putting the council is under incredible pressure.
However, my constituents want to know that proposals that miss the deadline paul wesley because of proper paul wesley consideration of what we need following the floods will not miss the boat, and that we will not be told that they have missed out as a result.
