I WRITE with reference to N Taylor's letter headlined Building up a crisis (You Say, December 6) in which he gave the same opinions as expressed in a recent Phillpott File article regarding the flood plains and water tables.
I agree with the sentiments but it is unfair to blame the "development-mad" society for the floods.
Every house, business park, city bypass and motorway development is at fault.
Our own ring road is included in this theory, and completing the ring (which cannot come too soon) would increase the problem.
PHILIP SMALLWOOD,
Worcester.
