The last seven weeks have been dominated for colleagues and myself by the flooding events that we have experienced right across the county.
This is an unprecedented and extended period of time to be dealing with an incident such as this for all of us in the county; our communities, our partner agencies, our elected members and officers alike. Throughout the weekend a number of us were on call dealing with flooded homes, businesses, roads and vulnerable people at risk because their homes were compromised.
The expertise and reaction of our staff in all of those services affected has been excellent. Whatever the time of day, the team has been on hand to help, support and to solve problems for our citizens and their communities as quickly and efficiently as possible. I would like to say thank you to all of you for the response so far. Unfortunately the forecast is for more bad weather and we will need to call on many additional services and staff to be involved in our response. We will let you know in which areas we need support and how you can become involved. Speak again soon.
