The Ock Valley Flood Group, launched back in June, continue to clear stretches of the River Ock and leave piles of rubbish to be picked up by council lorries. I had a photo of an even bigger pile a few weeks ago – which got lost when Facebook blew up my old laptop.
If the material collected by the flood group is not collected quick enough it can become the building blocks for new dams and bridges.
The group have taken a lot of trolleys back to Tesco and been given refreshments for their trouble. I was told that Tesco now even fit immobilisers to one wheel of trolleys – so only the more determined trolley pusher will get as far as the Ock Valley walk.
Great work by the Ock Valley Flood Group.
Does anyone know how I can contact them to volunteer my services?
please note! that there is a planning application for a dwelling that will back onto the Ock at Thurston Close.
The Application No 11/00714/FUL.
Very worrying given the July 2007 situation.

Geoff.
Do you have a meeting on the 28th? where is the venue please.
