Is Population increase in your area possible?

[MaryN]

I don't think there is any likelihood of such a massed evacuation. There is just nowhere for people to go that would not cause extra, or possibly worse problems, than the original reason for evacuation. This country has changed dramatically in so many ways since the last evacuation in WW11 - the population has changed (more ethnic communities), and the way of life has changed. Just imagine trying to relocate Leeds to somewhere that was welcoming! I think not.

Small areas to be evacuated would probably be shunted into army barracks or leisure centres.

I suspect the Gov would just heave a long sigh and let people get on with it in their own areas.
