Closed We believe that HM Government should invest more in flood defences.

Closed on

In light of the recent flooding across the country, we the undersigned believe that more should be done to invest in proper flood defences
The unprecedented weather might have been unavoidable, but lack of proper flood defences has left people exposed.
Investment in flood defences is important

Having watched the unprecedented flooding over the last few weeks, I believe that the Government needs to act now in order to prevent further such events in the future.
A minimum level of investment until the end of Parliament.
