There’s 2 reasons why the floods have get worse. new homes being built and the runoff water is directed into the drains. And the sluice gates on the rivers and canals are never operated anymore, which is the key factor of stopping flood. This was the reason why Loughborough flooded last year. It’s cutbacks and not the climate.
I think somewhere along the line the climate plays a part, this area bears the brunt in Feb., March time of year, this is very early this time, as for new homes, spot on, Tarmac drives, low maintenance block paved front gardens, as you say, nowhere for the water to soak in at its own pace.
New homes are to blame we in Broughton Astley never had flooding as bad until over 300 New homes built on the surrounding higher ground now the middle of the village floods all the time from the runoff & the brook can't cope
I live in Sileby and it’s been getting worse every year,even more concerning is that it’s early this year to start flooding.The traffic jams are ridiculous
My home county, now 1,300 km away. Thanks for the updates, could you fly a drone over Sileby Mill? The river course there is confusing. That siren is a public nuisance, as if people don't have to put up with so much already.
When I was a child on our boating holidays in the 60s you could always see dreading barges doing their work. Most houses near us flood because they don't clear out the drains. You have common sense, Let's hope it's catching.
Problem is these waterways are left without any maintenance, not cleared of any debris that has built up over time, then we get a heavy downpour and it all gets washed downstream until it blocks itself and the water rises in rapid time.
When is the Environment Agency going to wake up and start dredging the rivers? Don't tell me the money isn't there because it is, it's being spent ( wasted ) in the wrong places. Has anybody thought about getting together nationally with the other places that are suffering with flooding every year, and starting a class action against the EA?
We get floods all the time here, I live in Gloucestershire and close to where the river Thames begins, it gets held back here so Henley On Thames doesn't flooded, sad state of affairs
When you drive/walk round these new sites there is hardly a blade of grass to be seen, there must be a way of storing this water then releasing it back into the system later on.
Unfortunately not everyone believes that Climate Change is real and this kind of weather WILL become commonplace. People don't want to hear it. They don't want to do anything about it, because it upsets their daily life. People don't want go get rid of their polluting cars, they don't want to recycle, they moaned about supermarkets stopping plastic bags, well here's the price that has to be paid.
Driving through the countryside and fields of cabbages under water and large puddles like lakes and ducks swimming in among the cabbages is the saddest part of this year of the war that is being waged against us all around the globe is a spiritual war against humanity and the creation of our own world is biblical prophecy of understanding scripture is not the religion that is behind all the wars and bloodshed and battles that we have been deceived by the world many different cultures and origins of worshipping the gods of our earth are the gods of Egypt they have manifested themselves in different ways and cultures belief’s and the number of different religions and faiths are all bowing down to the one god of this earth is lucifer and his principalities are the fallen angels who have sown their own seeds into the world and the Nephilim race of giants who are the kingdom’s of the earth and their empires that have evolved over centuries to become a new generation and world order in comparison with their ancestors Egypt and Egyptian practices of worship of slavery this is the new world that they have planned for us to live in a global society where Pharisees have fattened themselves and their families and created laws to enslave the people who have fallen back into captivity after being brought out of captivity by the Creator and into the promised land but sadly the people brought their practices and worship rituals and ceremonies and festivals with them and started to worship in secret to their inner circle of believers and servants of their gods and lucifer This was the truth behind the story of Israel and Jerusalem and the teachings of the temple in Jerusalem that the Pharisees were secretly involved with rituals and ceremonies and festivals that were not in the spirit of Jesus Christ to expose them to accused them of turning his Father’s house into a market place for a den of thieves and vipers who were fattening themselves and their families and not taking care of the people whom they were supposed to serve. This story has evolved into a glorified global wealthy marketplace where religious institutions have exploited the power of religion to deceive their own citizens in their respective religions. This is biblical prophecy of Jesus Christ to call the people out of the temple and teachings of himself to demonstrate the truth of the Holy Land and the Faith is Father is not a religion but sadly man has created more belief systems and governments systems of man made laws that are designed to create division and separation and conflict and confusion over religion and belief systems. Now they are reformed into one global order and belief system that is the anti Christian faith. This was what Jesus Christ was exposing for them to have him arrested and tried and sentenced to death on the cross and this was prophetic and written in the Bible Old Testament that all beliefs have been aware of the only thing they don’t accept the death and resurrection and that Jesus lives on that he has accented to heaven and he will return to reclaim the world from the devil and his kingdom of angels and people who have sold their souls to him. We are now witness to revelation unfortunately unfolding before our eyes. Jesus Christ is returning soon to fulfill the Holy Father who is the creator and not a religion that we have been led to believe. The world has been built on lies and false gods and belief’s and practices of paganism and occultism and satanic faith that is hidden behind all the existing religions and faith is not a temple built upon the world but built upon the word for the Lord Jesus Christ is the word and truth and he is the only true teachings and good shepherd is the only way to overcome this world is through faith in him and his love and trust no other man or religion is the key to wisdom in understanding the truth in the Bible. Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏

@delhog161 agree completely and imho done on purpose.

Still it´s raining more water in shorter time and it is the climate.
@@hansbreslau8119 no it’s not
I feel so sorry for the residents in Sileby and the surrounding area, and I hope things get better and the water goes down quickly
@@williamparker3765 Apparently levels have dropped today and the weather looks favourable for the next few days.
I've had to go all the way round to the six hills to get into Sileby before, that was 30 years ago
@@rogergregory5981 I can certainly remember that, some people went to work fine only to find the way home cut off.
I live in Sileby and it’s been getting worse every year,even more concerning is that it’s early this year to start flooding.The traffic jams are ridiculous
Just been having that exact conversation, very early this year, hope the ground dries out before we get the February/March rains.
@@NarrowboatSuperBit’s ridiculous,I came through broome lane this morning and it’s flooded again as is cossington
My home county, now 1,300 km away. Thanks for the updates, could you fly a drone over Sileby Mill? The river course there is confusing. That siren is a public nuisance, as if people don't have to put up with so much already.
I will see what i can do drone wise, it can be a confusing stretch, more so for first timers, one of the cuts used to feed the Mill.
Dredge the damn rivers and clear out the drains and culverts.
@@muckle8 This should have been done years ago and then followed up every five years or so.
@NarrowboatSuperB Agree completely, bet that river hasn’t been dredged in 30 years.
@@muckle8 certainly not in the last 14 years, that's for sure.

@pooky-cat definately.
Why can’t they turn that bloody siren off?? Imagine living near that going off hour after hour!!
@@dingnextstop Was thinking the same, wonder if it stays on during the night, even once the flooding has started.
ikr...it's not like it's not obvious at this point...you want that siren BEFORE it floods
I wonder what Cosby is like. They also have a brook running through the village.
Problem is these waterways are left without any maintenance, not cleared of any debris that has built up over time, then we get a heavy downpour and it all gets washed downstream until it blocks itself and the water rises in rapid time.
Always seems to happen in places called river road, or pond lane, or flood street ,i cant work it out

The Environment agency is a complete waste of tax payers money. Full of over paid incompetence.
glad made my journey on sunday afternoon before the rain came again
We get floods all the time here, I live in Gloucestershire and close to where the river Thames begins, it gets held back here so Henley On Thames doesn't flooded, sad state of affairs
Yes, we can't have Henley getting too wet
@@NarrowboatSuperB Think they got it quite bad in 2012 but nothing like we had here
In Victoria Australia, we are praying for this type of rain.
I’m in Victoria and I’ve had plenty of rain. Not all of Victoria is dry.
Oh no, not drought and flooding rains…
Check out some footage of the recent storm and flood damage from North Carolina.
This is nowt.
@@keithfallinghorse6732 Devastating out there
Tell the residents
Some of those houses look quite new, I wouldn’t buy a house in Sileby, too risky
They are newish, nowhere for the water to drain now as Tarmac drives and block paving replaced the grassed areas.
Good
There is no money to be made clearing drainage ditches on farmland or by the side of roads. Money makes the world go round.
It’s chaos again today,December 9th
@urbanrider429 And yet more rain forecast, just had an alert for Sawley Marina, levels at 2.3 by 10am tomorrow.
Dont build on the flood plain!
I think the problem is the UK has 1500 river systems and over 200,000 km of water courses and most are shallow, so where do you build houses etc.
They keep building new housing estates making more surface run off 🤦
When you drive/walk round these new sites there is hardly a blade of grass to be seen, there must be a way of storing this water then releasing it back into the system later on.
Climate change? It’s the wettest EVER RECORDED. Penny dropped yet?
now all those govt warnings to keep the batterries and spare food supply are making sense. they knew all this was coming
Unfortunately not everyone believes that Climate Change is real and this kind of weather WILL become commonplace. People don't want to hear it. They don't want to do anything about it, because it upsets their daily life.

Anyone who listened to the scientists knew this was coming.
@simonpaine it’s the “ scientists “ that have made it happen.
There a lot of issues but ultimately that's what happens when it rains hard😂😂
Build new homes on flood planes and everything around suffers (floods) as well as no maintenance on rivers canals etc
