An investigation carried out by Huntingdonshire District Council into flooding last December is continuing and some recommendations on what can be done will be announced in the next few weeks.
The authority has held talks with representatives of the businesses and communities affected by the floods over the Christmas period following a spell of heavy rain, which led to the River Great Ouse bursting its banks, and is holding discussions with agencies including Cambridgeshire County Council, the Environment Agency and Anglian Water.
A ROOM WITH A VIEW: Reading Gaol as seen from The Blade. READING Borough Council (RBC) last night gave its official seal of approval for a new bid to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) for the Reading Gaol site. The preliminary terms of a conditional bid by the council to transform the empty prison into a beacon of arts, heritage and culture for Reading, were agreed by councillors in the closed session of last night’s Policy Committee meeting (March 8). The bid will now be submitted by March 15, in accordance with the period of exclusivity afforded to the council by the MoJ.
