I well remember in Sussex that when it was East Sussex River Board, they had two Priestman draglines that were in constant use all Year dredging out rivers and in some cases fairly small ones, to keep the water flowing. But when the Environment agency took over, that all stopped, which must contribute to todays problems, apart from the Environment Agency sanctioning planning consent on flood plain and other unsuitable sites.
