Dear Editor
I would like to thank
everyone who took the time to attend my coffee morning on Sunday 29
June to discuss the on-going issues around flooding in
Hull.
Neil Sykes from the National
Consumer Council for Water heard at first-hand about the various
problems still affecting my constituents a year after the events of
25 June 2007. Residents in Bransholme and Kingswood stressed the
need for Yorkshire Water to engage with the local community about
their investment plans for the next five years, with a view to
funding increased pumping capacity at the Bransholme Pumping
Station.
Having suffered some
flooding in my own home, I know that its effects are many and
varied. Some people
who were worst-hit will need help and assistance for many months -
and probably years - to come.
Yours
sincerely
Diana Johnson
MP
