We welcome today's announcement recognising the immense value of protected landscapes, but urge Government to level up funding for National Landscapes if the UK is to hit key international targets. #NationalPark #nature #defra

I've been away from X for a while but back again. I also have a policy of never listening to any recording of my own voice but this time I had to in order to find the place in the recording...it's 1.08.50. Interview with BBC Somerset on location at Burrowbridge.

[Somerset Rivers Authority @SRAnews]

Somerset Rivers Authority on @bbcsomerset this morning at 7.10 & 8.09 🙂 - on the SRA's new draft strategy to reduce Somerset flooding. Interviewed by @Ruthsays, @DixieDarch then Cllr Mike Stanton. To have your say on the strategy - https://t.co/vKyiVypfnN https://t.co/Y0vRTMTUy8

[Dixie Darch @DixieDarch]

We're seeing flood events where they have never happened before. The Somerset Rivers Authority has launched its new strategy...well worth a read. There's also an opportunity to share your flooding concerns.

[Somerset Rivers Authority @SRAnews]

Everybody in Somerset is affected by flooding. Somerset Rivers Authority exists to reduce flooding - and we've drafted a new strategy for the next 10 years. Give us your views - and share your flooding concerns. Please repost (RT) https://t.co/WiWM4qfiEz

Thank goodness for King Charles. Considering the deep peril faced by people & Nature it’s encouraging that at least one world leader is articulating a fit for purpose perspective. His words galvanised action in Paris in 2015 & hopefully will again now. https://t.co/jerMwLOAzX

[Environment AgencySW @EnvAgencySW]

The major incident declared last week for flood risk in Somerset has been removed. We are pumping enough water to fill nearly 3,000 Olympic swimming pools a day https://t.co/OaIchvADtS

Cllr @MikeSRigby: “By catching the bus, you can make a difference to the climate, to our environment and save money and wear and tear on your car. Now it’s just £1 for any single journey in Taunton it really does make sense to ‘Bus It’.”

This is astonishing.
Or sadly not

[Dixie Darch @DixieDarch]

@CheddarPC @SomersetCouncil A real pleasure to see how you are making the most of every opportunity to reduce carbon and increase energy efficiency. And what a fabulous location for a community venue...no wonder it is so well used!

[Somerset Council @SomersetCouncil]

Staying warm this winter is going to be hard for many. Does your heating system need upgrading? What about your loft insulation?

There are grants available to help. Get details from the Centre For Sustainable Energy - call 0800 082 2234 or visit: https://t.co/xYfLAZJkcp
