“Our
thoughts are with families and businesses impacted by the devastating flash
flooding in Cornwall.
“I
would like to pay tribute to our emergency services for their work and for
everyone providing support to those affected at the multi-agency centre in
Truro.
“Labour
is calling on the Government to match its words with actions: to ensure that
the Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service are provided with all necessary
resources and that businesses and residents receive the support they need in
the aftermath.
“In
the longer term, the Government must ensure that its strategy on climate change
mitigation and flood defence is fit for purpose and that climate change is not
brushed aside as an afterthought during the Brexit negotiations, leaving
communities to pick up the pieces.”
