Commenting on the floods Wera Hobhouse, Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary for Environment, said:
My thoughts are with all of those affected by the floods and I would like to thank the emergency services for their efforts to keep people safe.
We are facing a climate emergency and severe weather episodes are likely to become more common. It is up to government to introduce policies to mitigate against flood risk and the Tories have not done enough to protect at-risk communities.
A Liberal Democrat government will establish a flood-prevention fund focused on providing support for small community and council-led schemes. We will invest to reduce upstream flooding and the knock-on effects in downstream and coastal areas, in addition to improving flood defences, and introducing high standards for flood resilience for buildings and infrastructure in flood-risk areas.
