🌿 Another Call to Action: Addressing Flooding in Drumbeg
Once again, we find ourselves with the aftermath of flooding in Drumbeg. Today’s videos serve as a reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by the River Lagan’s overflow, prompting us to reflect on the consequences of ongoing development within the Lagan Valley Regional Park Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Embracing Natural Solutions: Confronting the Flooding Dilemma
The recent inundations serve as a poignant call to reconsider the trajectory of development within the LVRP AONB. The depletion of natural soakaways, essential for managing water levels during heavy rainfall, underscores the urgent need for a reevaluation of our approach to construction in this pristine environment.
Connecting the Dots: Development and Flooding
It’s evident that the surge in flooding incidents correlates with the changing weather patterns and expansion of urbanisation in the area. It’s obvious that the proliferation of impermeable surfaces will impede rainwater absorption, exacerbating the risk of flooding. It’s time to acknowledge this undeniable link and take proactive steps towards a sustainable solution.
Preserving Our Community’s Green Heart: A Collective Endeavor
Our community’s commitment to safeguarding the Lagan Valley AONB goes beyond mere admiration for its natural beauty. It’s a pledge to shield our homes and businesses from the looming threat of recurrent flooding, exacerbated by climate change and shortsighted development decisions.
Your Voice Counts: Join the Movement
We invite you to stand alongside us in advocating for sensible and sustainable planning practices. Share our stories, amplify your voice, and together, let’s ensure the preservation of the green heart of Lagan Valley for generations to come.
