Are you making the flood problems worse?

A council worker clearing rubbish trapped under a bridge.

TRY jumping into a filthy monsoon drain or river clogged with rubbish after a downpour. This is what local council workers have to do without seeming to think twice during a flash flood.

They are our unsung heroes and we should be ashamed of ourselves because they are basically up to their waist in drains blocked by trash thrown by the public.
