The Broads and the Floods

SIR,—We have received so many enquiries from people who are evidently under the impression that the Broads area was badly affected by the recent tragic flooding on the East Coast and, in company with many coastal resorts, we have noted with growing alarm so much falling- off in holiday bookings that we earnestly seek your co-operation in assuring your readers that the Norfolk Broads holiday amenities are quite unaffected. The waters are normal, and all the hire boats are now ready, or being made ready, for the season commencing Easter.
