Eric Pickles has admitted the Government made a “mistake” in not dredging rivers to prevent flooding but blamed the Environment Agency for providing poor advice.
The Communities Secretary, who has taken temporary charge of the response to the crisis, issued an unreserved apology to those affected in the Somerset Levels.
Repeated calls for dredging were made to Downing Street and other Whitehall departments by farmers and others in the region from at least six months ago but funding was declined.
“We made a mistake, there’s no doubt about that and we perhaps relied too much on the Environment Agency’s advice,” Mr Pickles told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show.
“We recognise that we should have dredged and I think it is important now that we get on the process of getting those people back into their houses once we are able to really do some serious pumping.”
Mr Pickles has criticised under-fire EA chairman Lord Smith for refusing to say sorry for the failures when he was besieged by angry locals on a visit to Somerset.
Asked if Prime Minister David Cameron should also apologise, Mr Pickles said: “I’ll apologise. I’ll apologise unreservedly.”
The EA has faced fresh anger after a senior official hailed its performance as a “success story”.
Director of operations David Jordan told a press briefing that the 5,000 homes flooded during the winter storms were “individual tragedies”.
“But also we need to recognise that 1.3 million other properties would have flooded if these flood defences had not been built,” he said.
“That is the success story, if you like, that we are talking about.”
Mr Pickles – who has taken the lead while Environment Secretary Owen Paterson recovers from eye surgery – said the agency needed to revisit its priorities.

As politicians trade blows on the political fall-out from the disaster, police were investigating whether seven-year-old Zane Gbangbola, who died after falling ill in his flood-hit home in Chertsey, Surrey, may have become a victim of the floods.
Officers have refused to be drawn on whether carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator pumping out flood water from his home may have been to blame, which also saw his parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, taken ill.
While tributes have been paid to the boy, two severe flood warnings remain place in the crisis-hit Somerset Levels – where villages are cut off and many residents have already been forced from their homes after weeks of heavy rain.
The Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister and Environment Secretary have all visited the Levels in recent weeks and the latest politician to visit was Ukip leader Nigel Farage.
During a visit to Burrowbridge, Mr Farage called for a public inquiry and reiterated calls for the Government to compensate victims.
“In the short term I want the Government to say they are going to compensate flood victims. Longer term there has got to be a public inquiry in how we are managing our rivers,” he said.
“There are times when a Government really needs to do something to support its own people. I just want to get this ball rolling.”
Mr Farage denied his visit was “political opportunism”.
“Unlike everybody else who turns up for a photo op and goes away again I am actually going to visit some of these properties, meet some of these people and get a better understanding,” he insisted.
“From what I can see, the Environment Agency appear to be so hamstrung by a whole series of European directives and we are putting the interests of beetles and voles and birdlife before that of farmers and people.”
Mr Farage also took the time to chat to locals and volunteers over a pint of ale in the King Alfred pub, which sits next to the River Parrett in Burrowbridge.
He was heckled by resident Mike Jay, who shouted at the politician “Oy Nigel, what are you going to do for us, rather than just a photo op?”
Mr Farage, who went up to Mr Jay to speak to him, replied: “I am trying to get off the ground a campaign that anyone who has suffered financial loss as a result of flooding actually gets compensation.
“I tell you why, because when we had the storm before Christmas I had a cracked chimney, roofing tiles gone, fencing down and the insurance company paid most of mine and I am £3,000 short.
“I’ve got a good salary and I can pay for it but people on fixed incomes and everything else can’t.”
Mr Cameron is to chair the latest meeting of the Government’s emergency Cobra committee this afternoon as forecasters warn of another week of storms.
Heavy rain and winds of more than 60mph will die down throughout today but the brief respite will be broken by another storm arriving tomorrow night.
There are nearly 300 low-level flood alerts and almost 200 medium-risk warnings in place across Wales and central and southern England.
The Met Office warned that river levels are expected to continue rising along the Thames, the Severn and the Dorset Stour this week.
The Ministry of Defence has put 1,600 personnel on six hours’ notice to help in the south.
Rail operators are now able to run trains to Exeter but there is still major disruption to services following flooding, landslides and collapsing track beds in the West Country.
In Croydon, South London, a pedestrian underpass has been turned into an emergency pond to hold hundreds of thousands of litres of floodwater threatening homes and businesses.
And reserve soldiers of 7 Battalion The Rifles were called in to use sandbags to dam a breach in the Kennet Canal which threatened an electrical sub-station near Burghfield, south of Reading.
Meanwhile, Met Office chief scientist Dame Julia Slingo said while there was not yet “definitive proof”, “all the evidence” pointed to a role for climate change in extreme weather.
She also delivered a grim warning that the country should prepare itself for more similar events in future.
It is the strongest link yet made by the Met Office between the intense weather and climate change, and backs David Cameron’s remark last month that he “very much suspects” a connection.
Labour former environment secretary Hilary Benn said “real progress” had been made after the Pitt Review into the summer floods of 2007, although added lessons could always will be learnt when dealing with “nature’s raw power”.
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett insisted Mr Paterson should be replaced as Environment Secretary.
She also said the Government and the previous Labour administration had not spent enough money on flood defences and the coalition’s cuts to the Environment Agency should be reversed.
Original report

Nicole and I arrived at the London Peoples Climate march in the hazy sunshine of a Sunday morning, we were looking forward to meeting its organisers, and apprehensive about speaking to people about the most painful part of our life, the loss of our beautiful 7 year old son Zane.  For us the impact of Climate Change is a sickening reality.

Our story is one of floodwater carrying toxic landfill gas that kills, our quest for answers, and to protect communities at risk.  Suffice to say 4 in 5 of us live within a kilometre of landfill and this fact coupled with wetter weather and floods has revealed yet another impact of Climate Change.  We believe nobody should suffer the death of a loved one or maiming of family members as we have. 

Shockingly though the death of our son when floodwater that had passed through landfill carried Hydrogen Cyanide gas into our home, agencies positioned to protect us put up walls of silence and misdirection.  The story of this social injustice is a stain on the UK agencies with a duty to defend and protect our children.   Hydrogen Cyanide gas was called Cyclon B in the 2nd world war, it was used in the death camps to gas and kill people.   I don’t mind telling you, as bereaved parents, the loss of our son has been an unbearable living nightmare, and we are unable to live in our home because toxic gas pathways remain and the house is unsafe. 

Those attending the London march were appalled by what had happened and want to help reveal the truth and protect communities at risk. We now have over 12,500 people signed up to the 38 Degree campaign.  We need 100,000 sign ups and welcome others, and all people to go to www.truthaboutzane.com and click petition.  

The march got underway and we felt privileged to be there and have an opportunity to make a contribution.    Nicole and I were very fortunate to be alongside Dame Vivienne Westwood and Emma Thompson who were appalled by the toxic combination of facts surrounding Zane’s case and how the time bombs that landfill sites represent to the public needs to be addressed. The generosity of their time and kindness was uplifting, as was the support of London Team Avaaz both for us and the marchers.

We would like to thank Avaaz; our hosts, for an inspiring day for the 40,000 people that marched peacefully in the afternoon sun, there were many powerful messages communicated by celebrities, campaigners, the public and organisations alike.  Some key issues we were able to share included key numbers:

1  One - The priority placed by Ban Ki Moon and the UN on addressing the most serious issue of our time Climate Change

2  19 – The percentage of GDP needed to protect the public from Climate Change events by 2030

3 24 – The number of hours after Zane died the British Prime Minister acknowledged and conceded Climate Change is real cause of the UK flooding

4  4.5 Billion – The 2014 insurance cost of flooding, the cost of prevention infrastructure a quarter of the cost

It was certainly an emotional day, but also very rewarding.  Nicole and I commented that it was great to see the many children present, and how Zane would have been in his element chatting, learning, and making friends as he helped do the right thing for a common good.

During the march Nicole and I were asked several times what message we want to convey to our politicians, the answers we gave we have provided many times, ‘Listen to the people’s voices and serve the public that elected you, and always remember, you are what you do, not what you say.  It’s time for action on Climate Change, and its time to build sustainable global economies.

As my beautiful son would know and say ‘The future depends on what we do in the present’ (Ghandi)

Love and Peace

Kye and Nicole

• Zane Gbangbola died during heaviest floods in UK for 248 years in February
• Allegedly killed by faulty pump at riverside home in Chertsey, Surrey 
• New evidence suggests carbon monoxide seeped from petrol-driven pump
• Substance has left his father Kye paralysed from the waist down

• Scientists say 'gas used in Nazi camps could come from nearby landfill site'

By Michael Powell and Nick Craven

The parents of a seven-year-old boy said to have died due to a faulty pump used at their home during the winter floods, claim he was really killed by deadly cyanide gas leaking from a landfill site.

New evidence has emerged that toxic hydrogen cyanide may have leached from a lake at the back of the home where schoolboy Zane Gbangbola tragically died during the heaviest flooding to hit Britain in 248 years.

His grief-stricken parents now fear there has been a cover-up, as police continue to insist Zane died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a petrol-driven pump at their riverside home, even though the Gbangbolas insist they did not use it.

Meanwhile, Public Health England officials and environmental experts have uncovered evidence of hydrogen cyanide at the riverside property in Chertsey, Surrey, which still remains sealed off six months after the tragedy. 

Scientists have told The Mail on Sunday that the deadly gas – used in the Nazi death camps – could have come from the former landfill site that stands just 20 yards from the back of the family’s home, as the rising water table could have pushed cyanide gas up through the landfill soil, generating hydrogen cyanide.

As floodwater clogged the basement, gas bubbles could have risen up into the house with tragic consequences.

The family were rushed to hospital in the early hours of February 8, after a call from Zane’s mother Nicole Lawler, 37, who had found both Zane and his father Kye, 48, unconscious. Zane was pronounced dead on arrival, while medical tests confirmed there were traces of hydrogen cyanide in his parents’ blood.

Kye, a company director, has been left paralysed from the waist down and still attends almost daily hospital appointments. A consultant neurophysiologist has confirmed his medical condition is caused by exposure to hydrogen cyanide.

Firefighters evacuated the area after their personal alarms were triggered by the presence of the gas. A total of 17 people were rushed to hospital and checked for signs of poisoning, but the only casualties were Zane and his parents. 

Later the same day, teams from Public Health England (PHE) and the Environment Agency descended, scouring the flood-hit area in biological suits.

PHE has confirmed hydrogen cyanide was present. The couple have been advised not to return home – even to collect belongings or precious photos of their only child.

Yet authorities are now accused of refusing to investigate the landfill site. Meanwhile, Zane’s parents are still waiting for a date to be set for their son’s inquest – despite new rules that mean inquests should be completed within six months of a death, unless there are good reasons for a delay.

More than 10,000 people have signed a petition demanding ‘a national debate’ on the risk of toxic gas leaching from landfills during floods, as Zane’s parents claim they face a ‘wall of silence’ from the authorities.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, Kye said: ‘It’s been six months since Zane’s death and people are still at risk. It’s obvious there are powers that don’t want this to come out.’

A million tonnes of hydrogen cyanide are still produced globally each year, and it is used in many industrial processes from paper-making to electroplating metal. Regulations around its disposal are tight, but that has not always been the case.

An initial post-mortem examination on Zane was inconclusive, but his parents say the pathologist was not told to test Zane’s blood for the presence of hydrogen cyanide – which disappears from the body within 48 hours. 

According to Surrey Police, further tests have found the cause of death to be ‘carbon monoxide poisoning’. 

Yet Kye and Nicole insist there was no possible source of carbon monoxide in their all-electric house. Kye said: ‘How can they say our son died from a substance that was not in our house, yet not look at the substance we now know was and has left me maimed?’

Copy linkSurrey Police released a public statement on Zane’s cause of death less than 24 hours after 800 local residents attended a heated public meeting on the floods, during which suspicions were raised about whether hydrogen cyanide was responsible.

‘The area was landfill from the 1940s until the 1970s,’ said Kye. ‘Nicole and I now cannot live in our own home because of the gas activity that’s been found there. We can’t even go to get our belongings. It is heartbreaking that we are now six months down the line and still have not got to the truth.’

But Surrey County Council insists the former gravel pit site was filled in with building rubble rather than industrial waste before being converted into a lake and field, although some residents claim the area was known as ‘the dump’ for decades.

A joint statement from Surrey Fire and Rescue and Surrey County Council said: ‘Abbeyfield is not a landfill site in the usual sense, it is a former quarry restored as a landscaped lake.

‘The landfill referred to is rubble used in constructing its banks.’

But Kye said that Public Health England (PHE) wrote to him in May, warning him that as traces of the toxic gas had been found in the house, they should not return home. 

PHE would not comment other than to say: ‘We have not identified any evidence suggesting there is a public health risk, or hazard to neighbouring properties.’

Last night experts called for a full investigation into the tragedy. 

‘Questions need to be answered,’ said Nick Walton, a leading environmental hydrogeochemist with 25 years’ expertise. ‘Almost anything can come up from a landfill site going back to the 1940s. The problem with older sites is we don’t really know what’s gone in there.’

David Rudland, chair of Environmental Protection UK’s land quality committee, said: ‘There are landfill sites that have taken large amounts of industrial waste, including cyanide, in the past, and it’s a possibility that dangerous material could be mobilised if the landfill site wasn’t particularly water-tight.’

Neighbour Ian Berry, 44, a finance broker, told The Mail on Sunday that he was told he may have 15 minutes to live when firefighters knocked on his door at 5am on the night Zane died. He was among the 17 neighbours taken to hospital as a precaution by emergency service.

He recalled: ‘We were woken up at an ungodly hour. Two firemen came and said, “Zane has passed away and Kye and Nicole are in hospital.” I was told by both the fire brigade and the police that it was hydrogen cyanide. The fireman said death happens quite quickly, and that if it was in our blood we had got 15 minutes.

‘I don’t see how they can say carbon monoxide killed Zane. The only thing that could have caused carbon monoxide poisoning is the petrol-driven pump and I know they didn’t use it because I would have heard it.’

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said it would not comment while police inquiries were continuing, referring all questions to Surrey Police. A police spokesman said: ‘There’s no evidence of any wider risk to members of the public.’

"This substance killed Zane and left me maimed. How can they leave it at that?"

Asked if there was any indication of hydrogen cyanide either at the property or in Zane’s blood, the police spokesman replied: ‘I can’t comment on any of the medical testing as that was done externally and by independent experts. 

'We go by whatever information is put to us and the result is that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. We can’t comment on [whether the pump had been used or not] as that’s part of the investigation.’

The ex-landfill site is owned by gravel company Brett Aggregates.

Last night, a statement from the firm said: ‘While to date we have no reason to believe there is any link between this site and the awful tragedy that has befallen the Gbangbola family, we have made it clear that we will give complete cooperation to any authorities wishing to investigate the background to this incident.’

Meanwhile, Kye and Nicole continue to fight for answers. Kye said: ‘Zane spent his short life helping others, now Zane needs some help. We cannot replace Zane. But can try to protect others. If we can find answers for Zane, we can protect others.’

Cyanide buried in the grounds of a Second World War engineering works could scupper developments planned in Worplesdon.

Liddington Hall Farm has been put forward as part of Guildford Borough Council’s draft local plan as a suitable location for 625 homes.

But Worplesdon Parish Council maintains the land is unsafe because of around 100 deposits of cyanide buried beneath the surface.

An ex-employee of Martin Harper Engineering Works came forward in 1982 to share information about the firm, claiming they used to dig up areas of the land around the factory and bury cyanide, the waste product made through case hardening, which took place at the site.

This practice allegedly went on about once a month between 1943 and 1947, in unmarked locations, resulting in as many as 100 deposits, with the depth and precise locations unknown.

New homes were built on the site where the company’s offices had stood in 2006, as none of the poison could have been deposited on that part of the site.

In 1983 a report by Norman Payne, Guildford council’s then head of personal services, confirmed there were signs of the poison beneath the ground but the area was declared safe as long as it was undisturbed.

Cyanide usually degrades over time, but Professor Jim Bridges, toxicology expert at the University of Surrey said: “If cyanide is combined with certain metals, as it is in case hardening, and if it is buried in soil, it can be longer lasting.”

This is not the first time this site has been proposed in a planning initiative.

'Full investigation'

Gaynor White, Worplesdon’s parish clerk said it is "exceedingly frustrating" that the same areas continue to come up over and over again.

She has already passed her concerns on to MP Anne Milton and the parish council is planning a formal response to the draft local plan as it undergoes the consultation process.

In 2008 Guildford Borough Council addressed concerns over cyanide, and claimed that the concentration in the soil was below Environmental Quality Standards and as such would not be a great risk.

But a spokesman for the council acknowledged the continued concerns about the Liddington Hall Farm site and its relation to cyanide.

She said: “As with any development on land that has previously had industrial use, a full investigation and any necessary remediation work must be carried out and before development.

“In 1982, an investigation was carried out on behalf of the council on the land bordering the works, which concluded that there was little evidence of high levels of contamination that would be detrimental to public health at that time.

“Based on this information this would still require a similar condition to the factory site. Any contamination found would need to be treated or removed.”

The proposed site also backs on the Thames Basin Heath, a special protection area (SPA) owing to the ‘mosaic of habitats’ in the area.

In February this year, the High Court ruled in favour of Weald District Council against landowners attempting to build on an SPA as these areas are also protected by European Law.

The council acknowledged this land is within the greenbelt in November 2013 but said there may not be enough brown field and urban land to meet the housing needs.

Zane was taken ill from the flooded home on February 8 and died in hospital.

Campaigners believe his death could have been down to leaking hydrogen cyanide from neighbouring land which was formerly a landfill site.

Zane's parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, remain unconvinced after Surrey Police said earlier this month that pathology tests had shown the cause of death was carbon monoxide intoxication.

Kye, 48, and Nicole, 36, were also hospitalised and they say traces of hydrogen cyanide were found in their blood following tests after their home and neighbouring properties were evacuated.

Campaigners at Sunday's demonstration held up a series of banners with messages such as "A healthy little boy is dead. Who will be next?" "Are we safe to live near landfill?" and "Public safety should be the highest priority".

Addressing the crowd outside his home, Kye thanked everyone for their "fantastic" support.

"This is not political, it's about a small boy and truth and justice. We deserve honest answers. It's quite obvious that children do not die instantly in the night for no reason.

"There are no words to explain the pain, sorrow and despair that Nicole and I and you are feeling.

"Nicole and I are just parents trying to do out best to find answers. We are doing what any parents would do for our kids."

Kye said Zane was a "ray of sunshine who always had a smile". "He was surrounded by love, which he exuded back tenfold. The world was a much richer place for Zane in it."
Kye continued: "Zane was only seven and had a promising life ahead of him. No child in the UK should be able to go to bed and not wake up. We say never again."

Kye said the family is not interested in money or blame. "Zane was simply irreplaceable but we do need answers and there are solutions," he added.

"7,000 people have signed Zane's petition and that number is rapidly rising because people will not be fooled by the authority claims. We say don't treat the public like idiots, they know when something is seriously wrong.

"Let's make this gathering the start of change.

"Thank you for listening and thank you for helping."

Among those attending the demonstration were Walton on Thames residents Suella Ritchie, 42, her husband Kevin, 44, and their seven-year-old son Dillon, who was best friends with Zane at St George's Junior School in Weybridge.

Mrs Ritchie said when Zane died Dillion had a lot of questions and was very upset. "He's been very strong about it, although it's upsetting for him because with all the controversy he just wants his friend to be left alone and not having the truth is not fair."

Local vicar Laurence Gamlen also attended the demonstration.

"It's been a really good expression of community concern, which I hope the authorities will take notice of," he said. "I hope it reminds them that this issue will not go away."

Original story from GetSurrey by Stephen Lloyd

Vijay Ganapathy, from law firm Leigh Day, who is representing the Gbangbola family, said: "We welcome this full post-mortem report, which will form part of the information provided to the coroner when the full inquest into Zane's death takes place.

"We will continue to work with the police with their investigations into the causes of this tragedy and who was responsible.

"We await further information provided by other agencies following their investigations, as many questions still remain unanswered into what toxins were present within the property on the night
of Zane's death."

The father of a seven-year-old boy  who died in floods in Surrey has said he believes the authorities are trying to stop him finding out what happened.

Zane Gbangbola, from Chertsey, died in hospital in February. His father, Kye, remains paralysed from the waist down.

The family's lawyers say it was an "apparent chemical poisoning" possibly 
caused by contaminated floodwater.

 Surrey County Council said it would not be appropriate to comment on the cause of death at this stage.

The Gbangbolas' home in Thameside was flooded for weeks in January and February when the River Thames burst its banks.

Zane and his parents were taken to hospital on 8 February after being taken ill. Both father and son suffered cardiac arrests.

Nearby homes were evacuated and 15 people were taken to hospital as a precaution.
 
Solicitors Leigh  Day are now investigating whether the family's house was affected by  hydrogen cyanide from a former landfill site nearby.

They claim the colourless gas hydrogen cyanide, which has in the past been linked to historic landfill sites, was found by the fire and rescue team called to the house. 

Surrey Fire and Rescue Service has not commented to the BBC.

 "I am broken, emotionally as well as physically," said company director Mr Gbangbola.

 "I don't worry too much about myself - it would be wrong considering what happened to my son.

 "Zane was always a happy, fun, extremely talented special ray of sunshine."

A post-mortem examination found no clear cause for Zane's death and an inquest was opened and adjourned pending the results of toxicology tests.

The local authority said on 28 April that the Abbeyfields site near the family home was a landscaped lake as a result of mineral excavation and had not been used for landfill. It warned against spreading panic among local residents.

But a historic  landfill site is shown on the Environment Agency's website.

Mr Gbangbola said: "It seems as though the various agencies involved are actively working against providing any information and that should cause some concern as to the trust the public should have."

Surrey County Council said in a statement: "Police are investigating this sad case and are waiting on the results of tests so it would not be appropriate to speculate on the cause of death until they have them."

Public Health England said in May: "Public Health England has not identified any evidence suggesting there is a public health risk, or hazard, to  neighbouring properties."

Update: Thank you and keep commenting and supporting. So far we have confirmation from 4 Agencies that Hydrogen Cyanide was in the house the night Zane died and that there was never any carbon monoxide.  However these Agencies are doing their utmost to not tell the public or investigate properly, leaving local people at risk. The agency perspective is the avoidance of national hysteria over the possible risk posed by contaminated sites.  Our personal investigations have revealed the field and lake 6m away that look so idyllic is actually contaminated but this did not show in environmental searches.  In short it appears the agencies to protect us believe the truth will do more harm than good. To them Zane seems to be considered collateral damage. If you find this unacceptable and would not accept this cover up if it were your child this happened to, then please get involved and help us get justice for Zane. Our beautiful Zane should be here enjoying his life playing with mummy and daddy and friends.

There is an act called the Environmental Protection Act, it is clear what government department is responsible. We can not fight this alone, help us to get the truth by keeping up the pressure. Places that you and your friends can comment are http://bit.ly/1kzqV0m these sites monitor responses, the greater the responses the more the news papers will support the cause. For those that are construction minded a great link for comment is bit.ly/1oW83ZN and for those that would like to know more see www.truthaboutzane.com 

again we would be pleased if you could leave comments on getsurrey or here.

Thank you,  Kye and Nicole xx

ITV News' Luke Hanrahan reports

The parents of Zane Gbangbola have spoken of their pain to ITV London as they continue to wait for answers over their son's death.

The seven-year-old died after suffering a heart attack at their home in Chertsey, Surrey during the floods in February.

His father Kye Gbangbola suffered a cardiac arrest and remains paralysed from the waist down.

"I'm broken literally. I don't know how to assemble any kind of focus on life and what it's about. It's something which is truly just unbearable for us," Mr Gbangbola said.

"No-one should experience going to bed laughing, joking as we always did in our house and wake up like this."

Police, unable to establish what happened to the family, have referred the case to the Home Office who have failed to provide any answers yet.

A Surrey Police statement said: "The investigation into Zane's death remains on-going. A post-mortem examination carried out on Tuesday 11th February did not establish a clear cause of death and we await the results of further tests which are expected to take a number of weeks.

"It would be wrong to speculate on the cause of death at this stage. Officers continue to provide updates to Zane's family. We fully appreciate this is difficult time as we wait for updates."
