Create Wetlands to Save Rural landscapes from Flooding

In our rural area there is almost no brown-field building land so field after green
field is going under concrete. Trees are being felled. The water table is higher than ever. Houses are flooding. Roads are flooding. Sewage is pouring across our streets and into play areas. And still we are forced to build more houses to meet impossible Government targets
We call for the Government to purchase local land and fund its conversion to Wetlands, to absorb and hold surface water, to slow the loss of biodiversity and form an environment where our increasingly cornered wildlife can thrive.
