In 2007 I was one of many Cubbington residents that had to leave their home when our properties flooded. There are several reasons as to why the flood occurred with one of the main ones being that the drainage system could not cope with the amount of water and waste flowing through them. The development of new houses in the area will put a massive strain on the existing drainage system and puts the area of the village at the bottom of the hill at a greater risk of flooding again. The current drainage system could not cope with the waste and water of up to 2,000 new homes and developing it to do so would be a large expense and cause a great deal of disruption to existing residents.
