I hope folks have not been too affected by the flooding in Leamington and indeed elsewhere.
I wasn't in Leamington the last time it suffered from severe flooding, i think 1998, but just seeing the river today burst its banks and was quite a torrent. Jephson Park was closed off as it was under water, and the grounds by the Pump rooms is water logged too, the water reached over the road to Dormer place and as far as the Apollo Cinema. St. Peters Catholic Curch had to close and two wedding that were to be held there had to go to the Lillington Church. Mass was also cancelled at St. Peters as the water was slowly encroaching up to the entrance of the Church. I think this evening the water has gone down a bit. Just praying that there will be no more heavy showers.
It must be terrible for local shops and businesses.
