Proceeding contribution from Luke Charters (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 November 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Storm Bert.


Storm Bert

My constituency is home to a wonderful retirement community at Hartrigg Oaks. However, residents living there have told me that they worry, every single time there is a storm, about how the River Foss may overflow on to their property. There is a fix: a water pump to alleviate flooding, but that was removed, shamefully, by Yorkshire Water three years ago. Does my right hon. Friend agree with me that Yorkshire Water should fix that urgently, following Storm Bert?
