Wyre Forest MP has raised a question in the House of Commons about flood defences in Bewdley
On Thursday 30th October Mark Garnier asked Dan Rogerson, floods minister for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs “Whilst west bank residents of the Severn in Bewdley have benefited from brilliant flood defences, those on the east bank live with uncertainty of the Environment Agency’s final solution to local flooding. Can I urge my right hon friend to seriously consider demountable flood barriers to protect the east bank residents of Beale’s Corner in Bewdley?”
Mark Garnier said “Flooding can have a devastating effect on people’s lives and property. That is why flood defences are so important in Bewdley. It is important that the best solution is found to give the maximum protection to resident’s homes.
“That is why I raised this question. I will follow up with the Minister and continue to make representations to ensure that a more acceptable solution for the residents of Bewdley is found.”
