Commenting on the severe floods that have hit Yorkshire and the Midlands this week, Mike Tuffrey, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Assembly Members and Spokesperson on the Environment said:
Severe floods this week have been a painful demonstration that climate change is real and is happening in the UK. The Mayor needs to think seriously about his plans to build thousands of new homes on flood plains in the Thames Gateway, and must minimise building in high-risk areas. He must also seek assurances from his Government that future flood defences in the region, including recommendations from the Thames Estuary 2100 project, receive adequate and sustained funding to protect effectively against increasing flood risk
