  • "Blocked road gullies, ditches not cleared for years and poor road repairs all contribute enormously to local flooding - who is responsible? The Council. We don't want platitudes - we want the Council to do the work we pay them to do though our Council tax and for Councillors to ensure it is done - Jarvis is too busy with his vanity white elephant scheme, but that's not what he was elected to concentrate on."

HEREFORDSHIRE Council leader John Jarvis has expressed his sympathy with those householders who have suffered the brunt of today’s flooding.

Ross-on-Wye has been particularly badly hit by the downpour but other parts of the county, including Yarpole and Aymestry in north Herefordshire, have suffered too.

“Along with fellow councillors, I’ve seen first-hand the devastation floods cause and I have every sympathy with all those who have been affected in any way today,” said Coun Jarvis.

“They have my assurance that we will work as hard as is possible to support them and ensure their lives return to as normal as possible, as soon as possible.”

“I would ask people, particularly those in more rural areas, to make sure their neighbours are ok, particularly if they are frail or elderly.”
