Councillor Jane Carr, who represents Newport Pagnell South, has been fighting for flood education and prevention measures on the Council:
“During the Christmas floods I saw streets flood in less than an hour in Newport Pagnell. These residents desperately need our help, which is why I’ve been fighting for proper solutions to prevent future flooding across Milton Keynes, and I’m happy to have helped secure this educational event.”
Liberal Democrat Councillor Carr, who also successfully fought for a £15,000 amendment to the Council’s budget to help train and equip a network of volunteer flood wardens across Milton Keynes, said:
“Although dealing with flooding is the responsibility of multiple partners including the Environment Agency, Anglian Water and Milton Keynes Council, we want residents to be prepared. This mobile exhibition is a step in the right direction. I would strongly encourage residents to attend.”
