I was out in Broxtowe over the weekend meeting with many residents affected by the awful flooding. I am in regular contact with local authorities and will continue to provide information when possible.
Earlier today I was contacted by local Nottinghamshire County Councillor, Eric Kerry, who explained that residents were very concerned that floodgates at Attenborough had not been closed.
I have just been down to Trowell Road, Stapleford, near Boundary Brook, where the flooding is very bad for local residents. If you are affected by the floods in the area, then Trowell Parish Hall is open for those needing a warm space.

This morning I held a Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you to all those who popped in and donated to this incredibly important charity. My Team introduced a ‘guess the number of caterpillars in this picture’ game and was delighted that Jake got the number exactly correct!
