He added: "Goole is changing. People's healthcare needs are changing. The way the NHS and social care looks after people and treats people is constantly evolving.
There are some signs that some rain is on the horizon, with unsettled weather from the west at the end of next week.Drinking water comes from different places depending on the geography and geology of regions.
Roughly speaking, the south of England takes a long time to get into drought but a long time to leave. That's because a lot of rainfall is stored in rocks underground and takes a long time to reach rivers and water supplies.By contrast, the north of England quickly enters drought and quickly gets out because reservoirs are more heavily used for water supplies.Water Companies introduce hosepipe bans when water supplies reach a certain low in their areas.
If drought conditions become severe, the government can restrict irrigation of farms, reduce boats' movement on waterways, and limit water available to non-essential businesses like car washes.In an extreme scenario, it could ration the amount of water available to homes and businesses but that has not happened since 1976.
Water industry bosses and the National Farmers' Union (NFU) are calling on the government to do more to ensure the driest parts of the UK have secure water supplies in the face of any future drought.
Water UK, which represents the water industry, is calling for a new national water grid of pipes, canals and reservoirs to be set up in England to move water from the wettest regions to where it is most needed.It would then approach the city centre via Bridge Street and Market Street before stopping at Forster Square Station.
The council said the route had the best chance of directly serving the Southern Gateway area, which had been identified for regeneration and as having potential for new housing growth.Mr Ross-Shaw added: "We're working to ensure the proposed Mass Transit system contributes to significant growth and regeneration in central Bradford, and that the designs take into account all the work currently being done to make our city centre more pedestrian-friendly."
The other proposed tram route is a trans-Leeds line that would operate between St James's Hospital and the White Rose Centre.Members of the public also took part in the consultation for the first phase of the new transport network.
