Comment on Graham Stuart MP joins FSB’s John Allan to address major Flood Insurance conference by johnpdennis

johnpdennis — Sat, 11 May 2013 13:58:23 +0000

This was a very well supported conference, brought together jointly by York City Council, and the Federation of Small Businesses. I received two invitations to attend and regarded it as important to do so, both as Ward councillor, and as a member of F.S.B.

Of course York has had flooding problems for centuries, but there were also delegates from many northern areas as far afield as Sheffield and Durham.

The discussion centred around the problems encountered by companies affected by flooding, but residential flooding issues were frequently referred to. In particular, people were keen to know just when some solution would be reached in connection with flood insurance for homeowners. The Statement of Principles, (the agreement between the Government and the Insurance Companies to ensure people had access to insurance at a fair price) actually expires on 30th June, but if that isn’t renewed, or replaced, what then?

Matthew Cullen, one of the speakers is a senior executive of the Assoc. of British Insurers. He has been involved in discussions with Government officials for 2 years, admits to being baffled by the recent lack of response from Whitehall. They have been expecting a final agreement to be announced every fortnight since Christmas, but still nothing firm comes forth!

Maybe there’s some form of brinksmanship taking place, but if something isn’t sorted soon there will be a big problem for many many householders across the country, including many in our area. Without insurance, properties previously flooded, or just in flood risk areas, may become virtually unsaleable, except at drastically reduced values.

Comment on Caravan Owners: “Be vigilant!” warning from police by HU12 Blogger

HU12 Blogger — Sat, 11 May 2013 09:26:28 +0000

A TV set was stolen from a Hedon Caravan on Friday (10th May 2013) as the owners were packing it to go away for the weekend – so the advice above from the Police is still very relevant!

Caravan owners – take note!
