Stephen Kearney calls for more action to stop the floods

Stephen Kearney and the Lib Dem team are calling for the County Council to do more to protect local houses from flooding. Many residents will remember Wheatley High Street and Crown Square flooding after the heavy rain earlier this month. Many houses in Crown Road were damaged, and even more local families were affected.

The Liberal Democrats proposed extra funding for flood prevention in this year's County Council budget. The Conservatives, including their by-election candidate, opposed it.

Stephen Kearney said, "The County Council must ensure that it is doing everything possible to prevent such damaging flooding occurring again."
