Pontypridd: Residents angry after Storm Bert hits

In a post on X, Sir Keir Starmer thanked the emergency services for protecting communities.

The Welsh Government said: “Our thoughts are with those who have suffered flooding to their homes and businesses. The trauma and upset this causes should never be underestimated.”

Sian Williams, head of north West Wales operations for Natural Resources Wales, said:

“I know that there are people frustrated and that there will be people wanting answers, wanting to have some sort of reassurance that this won’t happen again.

“It is unfortunately too early right now to think about whether things could be done differently or better or what can be done to improve the situation in the future.

Simon Brown, services director at the Met Office, said:

“As always with a named storm, a full assessment of the forecast and warning strategy will take place with our partners. I would expect this to take place over the coming days.”

“The warnings covering Wales highlighted the potential for homes and businesses to flood with fast flowing or deep floodwater was possible, causing a danger to life.
