I was pleased to meet with representatives from North Northamptonshire Council, Highways, Anglian Water, local developers, and local residents, who have been heavily, and in some cases devastatingly, impacted, by flooding in Raunds this year in the Brick Kiln Road/North Street area, to discuss next steps in ensuring that the infrastructure around residents’ properties is able to cope during periods of heavy rain and flood risk, not least to avoid situations where raw sewage is adversely impacting homes. I was pleased that a plan is in train to prevent such situations occurring, with further activity to come, involving the various organisations that have responsibility for the land and infrastructure all actively liaising to come to a satisfactory conclusion. I will continue to monitor this situation closely moving forward and support residents in any way that I can - they have been through far too much already and the lessons of it need to be learned and meaningfully acted upon.
