I went to Worthing yesterday to do some Christmas shopping – WHAT A DISASTER!!! Crowded, Raining, Windy and Traffic jams.

There is a piece in the Gazette this week about a potential electricity generation barrage across the river Arun. The barrage would provide a flood defence, generate power and could provide a welcome added pedestrian link to the west bank.

Although it would cost millions, the Arun is one of the country’s fastest flowing rivers and if harnessed could help the environment. I’m sure it would also be a minor tourist attraction.

I certainly think that it’s worth looking into and would be a better use of money than all the creepy databases that the government seems to be obsessed with.
