Should we build new homes in the Thames Estuary?

You are: the Environment Agency

It is your responsibility to make sure people know the risks involved in building in the floodplain. Your opinion is that new development shouldn’t be where the risk is greatest. You need more money from the Government to help to you pay for new flood management systems and people to monitor the river.

You think there are lots of other things people could be doing to prevent climate change – this would mean the risk of flooding wouldn’t keep getting worse!
