			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="http://www.happisburgh.org.uk/images/ccag_logo.gif" alt="CCAG" width="149" height="75" />There surely can be few other areas of Government which provide poorer value for money than DEFRA&#8217;s Flood and Coast Protection (F&amp;CP) department.</p>
<p>F&amp;CP now has it&#8217;s own &#8220;Bermuda Triangle&#8221; the three sides of which are DEFRA, Environment Agency (EA) and Natural England (NE).</p>
<p>Dubbed Bermuda Triangle because if one lives on the coast and happens to be caught between those three (one department and two quangos) it is quite likely that one will disappear into the administrative, process led and target orientated black hole which they seem to create.</p>
<p>The only thing which seems to disappear faster than any individual caught in it is taxpayers money.</p></blockquote>
