We lived for 16 years in a house built over a brook in Lancashire, the only time it flooded was when a crew from Railtrack cleared an embankment and threw a load of bushes in, which floated down and blocked the entrance in a storm. I used to drop in every few months to check the culvert walls and remove debris, it was clear and open and perfectly safe, you could walk upright. But when we sold the house - what a circus! The buyer's insurers wanted reports so they sent in a small space access specialist who took videos and charged thousands. And it turned out that the Environment Agency had decided the entire river valley below a certain contour was a flood zone and hence almost uninsurable. Arse-covering jobsworths, the lot of them.
it's like anything else council run, wait until it's full before doing anything about it rather than regular maintenance so it doesn't get to this state.
So they should put people in danger just to save money? Having visual confirmation helps you make a safe plan for works, and make sure you have the right tools to do the job.
symptomatic of uk, ignore ignore ignore until its a massive problem and then expend 10 times the effort to resolve. simple maintenance keeps on top and takes a moment for one person as opposed to a large team of big tools and resultant costs. UK, risk management as its worse
You guys are a pleasure to see you interact…. GREAT JOB from beautiful Western North Carolina 😁‼️👏🏻👏🏻I subscribed also👍🏻when is the next one with the rest of the silt etc coming out??
Simple, didn't have tp pay for land, areas over waterways were frequently free, remember that they used to build all of those shops and houses on bridges across the Thames.
@@joycearmstrong8628 That boat has probably been there a very long time since last floods in Southern UK, owner probably had forgotten he owned it; hidden in reeds somewhere far away.
Good job guys! Do you have a detox shower at work? I hope so! No one would want to get in their own car and contaminate it after being in that nasty muck! Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about this job/service. I’m in Texas…never heard of this type of job here.
Back in the day a few blokes would of been down there and cleared that in no time np! look at all the bodies and machines and pc just to look at some mud and wood before actually getting on with it
Great work & so glad Fish are safe.... You have to be careful not to do damage when clearing... Bless these guys for doing a good job... Messy stuff.... The River needs to flow... Blockages & big style flood??
So, how many people, lorries and robots were needed to unblock a small culvert? No wonder our taxes are so high yet our rivers and canals are in a parlous state.
Heroes? Really? Being a Cleaner, cop or a firefighter or a soldier does not make you a hero. Those are jobs. Working at a grocery store or driving a truck during the Coronavirus thing doesn't make you a hero. You are doing your job. Being a doctor or a nurse doesn't make you a hero. Those are jobs. Being a mom or dad does not make you a hero - you CHOSE to have kids. Being a teacher doesn't make you a hero - you're being PAID to do that. What makes you a HERO is doing something heroic for which you are NOT PAID TO DO and don't have to do - such as throwing yourself in front of someone to save them from being shot, saving someone from drowning, or even testifying in court against a violent criminal knowing that it might put you on their &hit list.
👍👍 ignaty shadrin approved! Thx for the video! ❤ Keep it up! I beg you! Keep recording these helpful videos the results speak for themselves! So many people can learn from these videos. Eager people will flock to this work and video 🤞 Thanks
More play then work and show off for the camera. Like many already have mentioned, Post10 would have fixed that in matter of minutes without hazmat suits and robots. Rubbish.
What didn't impress me? Answer, the lack of prevention. A large metal grid needs to be in place across the river to prevent logs and....er boats entering the culvert in the first place. Talk about backward thinking!!
A town twinning link is a friendship agreement involving co-operation between two communities in different countries, endorsed by both local authorities. The twinned communities organise projects and activities around a range of issues. They develop a relationship and understanding of their historical, cultural and lifestyle similarities and differences. These activities involve a wide range of people from the community and can boost skills
Filth........was it a police van????.......NO, it was a police boat! Also, I would like to complain about the all male work force..........pretty, slim attractive blondes with bouncy puppies need to immediately be hired to 50% of the workforce.
