The Woodborough Lane site should be taken out. Woodborough Village floods. The clay at the top the hill holds an immense amount of water and mitigates the flooding. Digging it out will increase the water to the valley wrecking farm land and leading to more frequent downstream flooding of homes. This will be exacerbated by water that currently flows towards Lambley from the top following a shorter route to Woodborough. Over the years the homes below Dorket Head have increasingly got wetter as less water is stored retained. This will do the same to Woodborough without any mitigation
