Should we build new homes in the Thames Estuary?

You are: a local resident of the village of Jaywick

You remember the last time the river Thames flooded. 30 people were killed in their homes and there was thousands of pounds worth of damage!

You are worried that if the Government keeps building flood defences it will just funnel the water up the river to central London. You don’t want to loose your home either. But having experienced being flooded you don’t want other people to suffer like you have!

You have the power to say what you would like done locally and make your case to the local authority
