This is not a protest against improvements to our rivers and moorlands to alleviate the risk of flooding, but it is a protest against the destruction of our lovely town centre and the devastation the proposed works will create in Hebden Bridge over the next 5 years plus. The closure of businesses and loss of jobs is real and so is the changing face of the town centre. We know improvements can be made to decrease the risk of another Boxing Day 2015 flood but there are alternative ways to do this. The disruption under the current plans will K*ll tourism and make living in this town unbearable for many. The park alone will be out of use for several years plus the loss of parking at St Pol Car Park. The machinery and hoardings and dust and noise…
What we need is a discussion about the alternative ways to manage the moorlands and rivers and a new plan put in place. We’ll discuss that in this group more. All knowledge is welcome.
