We just need a strong government, they've been prepared to flood villages to make way for water resevoirs before, so doing the same thing to prevent flooding over a wide area has to be an option

Dykes alone won't solve it in the Thames valley, except a few dykes surrounding small but important buildings. Dykes create a bottleneck.

I designate Dunstable as a legitimate flooding zone.
