Councillor Federica Smith-Roberts (Liberal Democrat, Taunton East) (Image: Somerset Council)"We have allocated additional funds to empty an extra 65,000 gullies this year in flood-prone areas.
"This programme is working at a parish and town council level to better identify local flood risk and put measures in place that eliminate or reduce it.
