I've been away from X for a while but back again. I also have a policy of never listening to any recording of my own voice but this time I had to in order to find the place in the recording...it's 1.08.50. Interview with BBC Somerset on location at Burrowbridge.
Somerset Rivers Authority on @bbcsomerset this morning at 7.10 & 8.09 🙂 - on the SRA's new draft strategy to reduce Somerset flooding. Interviewed by @Ruthsays, @DixieDarch then Cllr Mike Stanton. To have your say on the strategy - srastrategy.co.uk bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gr18…
We're seeing flood events where they have never happened before. The Somerset Rivers Authority has launched its new strategy...well worth a read. There's also an opportunity to share your flooding concerns.

Thank goodness for King Charles. Considering the deep peril faced by people & Nature it’s encouraging that at least one world leader is articulating a fit for purpose perspective. His words galvanised action in Paris in 2015 & hopefully will again now. youtube.com/watch?v=8aPjcdpz…

The major incident declared last week for flood risk in Somerset has been removed. We are pumping enough water to fill nearly 3,000 Olympic swimming pools a day gov.uk/government/news/somer…

Cllr @MikeSRigby: “By catching the bus, you can make a difference to the climate, to our environment and save money and wear and tear on your car. Now it’s just £1 for any single journey in Taunton it really does make sense to ‘Bus It’.”

Staying warm this winter is going to be hard for many. Does your heating system need upgrading? What about your loft insulation?
There are grants available to help. Get details from the Centre For Sustainable Energy - call 0800 082 2234 or visit: cse.org.uk
Looking forward to this. @anitaroy1000

Such an inspiring and educative day at the Somerset Innovation Exchange today at Somerset County Cricket Ground. Pleased to note that getting to net zero was high on the agenda.

Great to see so many members of the public interested in trying out the auto shuttle in Taunton today. And happy to share my reaction on what I thought was radio...
People in #Taunton were today able to try a self-driving ‘auto shuttle’ - or bus - as part of a South West trial
