Effective flood mitigation measures are becoming increasingly
more important as weather patterns shift towards less favourable
conditions.
As fewer key road routes through West Wiltshire remain passable in
adverse weather conditions, the build-up of traffic on alternative
routes is costing thousands of hours of people's time in
congestion, and concentrating traffic and subsequent pollution in
areas such as Bradford-On-Avon, and the southern and western parts
of Melksham.
Flood mitigation measures will clearly alleviate these concerns by allowing road traffic to flow normally rather than concentrating through the few remaining available routes.
Council money spent on civil engineering projects such as this will provide clear benefits to a significant number of residents, and can certainly be implemented in a cost-effective way.
