Well I do. I was a victim of the June 2007 Flood and the siren, even though it was a bit late, was very welcome.

It alerted people all over the town that there was a problem.
Many people who were affected were at work and the siren alerted them and they were able to get home quickly to protect their properties.

I do know that the Environment Agency have a floodline warning system but this did not instill me with a lot of confidence as people who were being flooded in Horncastle were receiving calls for Potterhanworth and surrounding areas.

I am aware that the Environment Agency have now updated their system but I vote to keep the siren as a warning system as it is a warning system that people react to and is for any problem the town may have not just flooding.
My second point is the proposed country park down Hemingby Lane. £850,000 to build with maintenance costs of £5,547 per year, would that not be better spent on a flood defence system?

Is this in the flood area I wonder? What would the maintenance costs be if it was flooded?
