I spent this evening in Marlborough Town Hall talking to residents evacuated after the worst floods here in living memory. So impressed with the resilience and good spirits of everyone - heard nothing but good words for Wiltshire Council, Marlborough Town Council, and Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue.
"We just got on with it" was the general mood - huge respect to all the council staff who stepped up to offer help, food, beds for the night. I gave a lift to the last lady going to stay with friends.
I'm in touch with the Environment Agency - I hope the waters fall quickly and everyone gets back home as soon as possible.
