The Somerset Rivers Authority are holding a public meeting tonight at Moorland Village Hall from 7pm - one of the worst-hit flood areas in the floods of a decade ago, which they say will be to 'share information about actions we have been taking to reduce flood risk, our current operational response, and available support'.
