The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for the Eastern Yar, with the water level high and slowly rising.
In the last 18 hours, 15mm of rain has been recorded at Wroxall.
Locals are warned that from now the river will be high at Langbridge and Alverstone, causing minor impact flooding to low lying land, footpaths and cycle tracks. Officials do not expect any property flooding though.
At Alverstone, the river is unlikely to peak until around 15:00 this afternoon. The level should fall by 17:00, and it will continue to lower for some time. However, further rain will cause an additional increase in water levels overnight. Further rain of up to 10mm is forecast.
Generally, over the next 24 hours, Islanders should expect the river to be higher than normal. If you use pumps to help reduce water levels in gardens you should ensure they can operate.
Adding thousands more homes, running roof and street water into rivers will add greatly to the misery now for those affected.
Doubt any of those granting permission for such will be adversely affected though.
As always it will be those paying their huge wages, pensions and expenses from an ever growing c.tax burden, despite more income into their coffers from all the extra homes paying c.tax and the massive cut backs to our services that these parasites have inflicted onto us all.
Remember this at the ballot box.
Remembering will only help if there are alternative (and better) candidates
Where are they?
You mean that the others, without years of forming dubious links as these have had time to do, could EVER be worse?
I very much doubt that.
This is why dictatorships are hated in the West, as people in power for too long, can become dangerous, as if any are corrupt, it is hard to uncover, as they only employ like minded fellows to keep the ruse going, with no-one to speak out or blow the whistle on such.
A whole new batch of newcomers have not the time, nor the knowledge to know who to trust, or not to, as the case maybe, thus limiting such risk of that occurring.
Hence remember such at the ballot box and vote for the most likely part other than these awful, destructive and costly beings.
It would be very hard to find worse.
And STILL the RSPB backhandedly raise the water level on Brading Marsh for the birds.
