Tipton Flooding June 2023

Earlier this week, Tipton was battered by flooding again. I know this issue has came up time and time again. You may be aware I have secured £80,000 for flood defences in Tipton a few years ago but it is now time for this to be put into action, so residents like you can see tangible improvements to our flood defence system across the town.

Across the Town, businesses and residents are suffering, and have done for too long, which is why I am calling on Sandwell Council and their partners to do more to reduce the risk of floods across the Town, but I need your help.

I'll be out meeting those affected in the coming days but let me know how this has impacted you, by completing this short survey.
