Flood review website launched for public comments

Sir Michael Pitt, the independent chair overseeing the UK government's Lessons Learned review into this summer's floods, is calling on those affected to share their experiences via a new facility on the Cabinet Office website: http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/floodingreview

Sir Michael, who in the coming months will visit communities affected by the floods, welcomes comments, ideas and suggestions from all sections of the community regarding the review, as well as feedback on the experiences of those affected by the floods or whose home or business is susceptible to flooding.

Sir Michael said: "I intend to spend time visiting affected communities, talking to residents, local businesses and members of front-line services to get their first-hand experiences.

"In the meantime, I'd like people to log on to the website and share their comments - all contributions will be taken on board and will factor into the review process."
