Few would realise but Battle Ward is at risk of flooding as we are close to the Thames. This morning some Battle residents, who had signed up the the Environment Agency's Flood Warnings Direct service, were called and advised of risk of flooding. The properties most at risk are those near to Portman Road.

Welcome to my blog. I am using it to keep you updated on my work as a councillor for Battle ward, Chair of the Art and Heritage forum and an activist for Unite the Union. I cover the issues affecting Battle ward and Reading residents. There may also be the occasional random post about things I am interested in.
