"Until recently, tiptoeing through floodwater to get to work was par for the
course for Londoners living around Greenford Tube station. The ticket hall
frequently found itself inundated after a heavy downpour. Sandbags were
routinely deployed. Nearby neighbourhoods also flooded.
It left the local council facing the daunting prospect of expensive engineering
works to solve the problem – that was until beavers came along and apparently
fixed the problem for free.
“Even in situations like on Monday, where there was really heavy rainfall, the
area didn’t flood,” said Şeniz Mustafa, England’s first urban beaver officer,
who witnessed the animals’ handiwork firsthand. “When they put their minds to
it, they really get things finished.”"
