St Johns Way flooding risk - housing decision delayed

Focus Team member Paul Jobbins at the area that has flooded already at St Johns Way

The St Johns Way area of Chipping Sodbury is one that would be particularly vulnerable to flooding if some of the government's proposed thousands of houses are built nearby. As we reported before, hundreds of people responded to our campaign and local campaigns like BS37action. In fact the government received so many objections that they are still going through them all. Their decision was due in January, but it's now been delayed. Maybe they might listen for once? Let's hope so.
