I WRITE in response to Roger Kemp's comments in his letter headed Council cannot be liable for acts of God' in Citizen (January 27).

It is true that in October last year I issued a formal notice of legal action against Lancaster City Council and the Environment Agency, to be enforced if my home is flooded. This has nothing to do with an act of God it is to do with unfair discrimination.

The authorities have already taken action to protect the massive new buildings close to the millennium bridge, buildings which shed rain very quickly and mean much more water pouring into the river.

And does Mr Kemp know that the Environment Agency has applied for permission to spend a further £6 million on more flood protection measures downstream from the quay.

But St George's Quay is excluded, although they expect it to be flooded. I hold considerable documentary evidence to this effect.

The European Court of Human Rights will be able to decide, on this evidence whether I have been discriminated against.

Richard Norris, Lancaster.
