Holly Lynch MP made a speech in parliament on Wednesday 20 January 2016 to highlight the impact the Boxing Day Floods have had on our region and in particular Halifax and the Calder Valley.
In the speech she thanks the government for the promise of £5.5m to rebuild Elland Bridge but highlights the fact that the actual cost of the floods is nearer £18.5m (including the £5.5m for Elland Bridge).
Please watch the speech – it is an interesting watch.
