Draft Greater Norwich Local Plan – Part 1 The Strategy
Representation ID: 20371
Received: 29/02/2020
Respondent: Mrs Dawn Clayton
I have read the response from Hainford Parish Council in regard to policy one, questions 13 & 14 and policy 7, item 4, questions 45 & 46 and I, as a resident of Hainford fully agree with their responses.
I have noted with some despondency that in the published record of flood incidents from June 2017, we have been clustered with Spixworth and Horsham St. Faiths in regard to the number of ‘recorded flood incidents’ totalling 13. Pardon the pun, but this appears to be ‘watering down’ the flood statistics for Hainford, I live in *Redacted* Hainford and this road is almost permanently flooded during the winter months. The last month, this road has been abmissmal for access *redacted*, perhaps someone from Broadland District Council would like to visit to observe what we have to put up with.
And, for future reference, give the flood statistics for Hainford as a stand alone village and not cluster us with other villages to hide the extent of the problems we have.
As we all know statistics can say whatever the statistician wants them to say, but it’s not always correct.
