Green Councillor Rebecca Tully has joined fellow Green Councillor Mark on one of the ‘IDB’s in our county – the RIver Lugg Internal Drainage Board.

Rebecca: “It’s great to be part of this bigger-picture work to manage flows of water in Herefordshire. It’s been great to see how they manage the managing challenging situations we have – including serious regular flooding in my ward, causing traffic issues. I’m looking forward to getting to the bottom of who is able to help! There are so many potential solutions to flood issues we have and we need to push for strong relationships with good contractors, flexibility in ever shorter windows of good weather to do works and good data to back up the need.”
