Induction Evening

What a great evening last night. It really is heartening to have so many people willing to step up to the plate and want to help (I think I counted 14 with a good cross section of the community - Some from as far as Chippenham!). A Big thank you to all those who attended on such a cold and wintery evening and don't worry if you didn't make it - We're always open to new recruits. Just download the forms and either drop them off at the council offices or bring them along to the next training night. The notes from yesterday are now in our training notes section along with the training schedule for this year (Get the dates in your diary!)

Look forward to seeing you all on the 25th Feb. The British Transport Police have already said they are happy attend

Onwards and upwards


Kind Regards

As suspected with the relatively calm weather over the weekend the river levels have now returned to their normal range. The week ahead is looking pretty cold with little rain forecast so hopefully the river will be fairly calm for the next week or so. With all this cold weather and forecast of ice and the outside possibility of snow can't wait to get our Snow Warden Training undertaken and start implementing the Snow Plan! (A while off unfortunately)

Keep Safe

Pictures of the River Avon through Bradford on Avon at 9am this morning. Up a little bit over night but not enough to flood the Bullpit. Thankfully the weather forecast is reasonably calm over the next few days so should give the River a chance to go down a little. Was out and about yesterday delivering information, flood plans, and generally chatting through concerns with local businesses.

Latest images of a swollen River Avon through Bradford on Avon this morning (9am).

There is some stormy weather currently forecast so be careful if you are out and about. The AA has a useful advice page for drivers when driving in inclement weather:
