Sure they build houses in flood areas....then blame motorists for causing climate change and causing houses to get flooded !!

It could only make sense to a politician.

Agree with why put car park there, there is a park and ride near my sister's and that floods as well as the cinema car park next to it, they know it's a flood risk, but been used for years and flooding is only going to get worse.
