It’s been an incredibly tough week for everyone in Bradford on Avon, especially for residents and businesses in the town centre who faced flooding in their homes and premises.
In the aftermath of the flooding, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone – residents, businesses and volunteers – who pulled together during this challenging time.
It was heartening to see so many step up so quickly to support those in need.
A special thank you also goes to our town council officers, who went above and beyond their remit to provide as much help as possible.
Mayor of Bradford on Avon, Councillor Jack Vittles said: “The week has been devastating for so many in our town.
“But the resilience, community spirit and hard work of all residents and volunteers has been inspiring to witness.”
