Chris Naylor, the Liberal Democrat candidate for the new South Shropshire constituency at the general election, says the county needs to be better prepared for deluges like that that hit the area as part of Storm Babet.
He said immediate steps that need to be taken are drain clearance and looking for ways to control the flow of water.He said: “Yet again it has rained hard. Yet again there were flash floods that could have been avoided if the county had been better prepared. Floods at Minsterley, Ludlow, Church Stretton, Cleobury Mortimer and in many other towns and villages in the south of the county.
“It is more challenging to control the flow of rivers and streams. The rivers Teme, Corve, Onni and Rea are fast flowing and often create floods. Flooding could be reduced if Ledwyche Brook and the many other streams and brooks that flow into our rivers were tamed.
