The council attitude to a "bund" is un realistic, dredge the river from nunholm to dock park, install a raising flood barrier & update the "un stable" sewerage system in the town , stop trying to kill an already dieing town,

The earthen bund is not the right solution please look at the rising flood defence, there is one in Cockermouth and it's working

River needs dredged and proper river maintenance carried out, not just a "cheap" quick fix!

I stilldon't understand just what the councilors think will happen to the flood water displaced by the proposed bund. Their experts say that a 4 or 6 foot bund will raise the Green Sands flood level by only 12mm, really?

I do not believe the people of Dumfries want the Sands destroyed. I do not believe the council are listening to the people.
