We will also be asking why the district council has a policy of not supplying sandbags, of which there were a dire shortage when they were most needed. Volunteers kindly collected sandbags from the Environment Agency’s depot at Haddiscoe, for which we are extremely grateful, but it is not a situation that we should have been put in. We will continue to re-evaluate our own responses to see if there are any ways in which we could improve the support we provided - that is simply good practice, but we will be seeking greater support from the district and county councils if there should be any future emergencies occurring in Bungay.
