The main theme at tonight’s Rawreth Parish Council Meeting was probably flooding.
There had been flooding in Church Road since the last meeting – Hayley the parish clerk had been out in her specially purchased parish waders to deliver sandbags . The sandbags had been provided by Rochford District Council, though it was disappointing that nobody from RDC had come to see the flooding, despite a urgent request to do so.
“Idiot” motorists who had tried to drive through the floodwater came in for some criticism , especially those who caused ?additional flooding by the wake of their vehicles.
Rawreth Flood Action Group have asked if the parish council can give them a grant, and this will be discussed at the next meeting ?in December.
