Pressing EA for Action Against Flooding Friday, 12 April, 2024 I'm at Short Ferry today meeting with Henry Ward and other local farmers. Flooding is on the agenda. The Environment Agency has been neglecting to repair the local river banks. They don't offer proper compensation nor do they have a properly compensated flood plain strategy. I have been pressing DEFRA ministers and the Environment Agency for further action and will continue to do so. Local News
