Most would agree we will need to adapt to rising water levels due to the effects of global warming. Durham's Labour controlled council has decided we need a new county hall so after consultation which consisted of telling the public what, where and how it was going to be built there was uproar in the community.
One of the objections was that it was on the riverbank and prone to flooding on an increasingly regular basis. This is the foundations of the new county hall.

The planning and building control departments from my dealings with them are excellent at doing what they do, so i think politics has won over practical common sense. Plenty of spin will be needed on Monday.
