I know how hard the bad weather has hit the homes and lives of local people this year.
We had the recent storm but back in May, some people in our part of Devon had to leave their homes after torrential rain.
I visited many of the affected homes and I’ve been working with residents to address local concerns and insurance issues.
It was great to visit Margaret and Roger today in Newton Poppleford. Their home was really badly flooded in May and after it was dried out, local builders came in and sorted it all out.
It was good to meet with the hardworking team at East Budleigh-based builders S. Cox & Co today who’ve done a stellar job on the cottage.
Margaret and Roger were absolutely delighted with their work and I can see why. We’re lucky to have such an abundance of talent in our part of the world!
