Exactly, it seems the environment agency is useless.

    or the environmental agency has other more pressing matters to attend to in its 50-year plan, and dredging the river there could drastically disrupt their flood planning.

    my county's 50-year plan just finished. we just turned the entire damn county from a 10-year floodplain to a 100-year floodplain (by dredging creeks and digging new canals). It took fifty. damn. years. Easiest way to tell who was a local was who was celebrating when they finished.
