Rebecca Pow, the Prospective Conservative MP for Taunton Deane met local people to see the progress with the dredging on the Somerset Levels for herself. 

Residents around Burrowbridge reported a much faster flow through the rivers Tone and Parrett during the recent heavy rain, now that the dredging has been completed.  For the first time in 15 years the portholes on the bridge in the centre of the village have been revealed.
