From the 4x4 Response Network.

Hi folks,

 

I've heard from  Darren in Gloucestershire 4x4 Response, they have carried out a couple of missions over the last day or two.

 

I have spoken at some length with my contact in the Red Cross tonight, who confirms that the Control centre has our details and will call if the situation changes if only a small response is needed I will of course pass it to Gloucester 4x4 .

 

It seems that they are treating this very much as they would an international disaster, and will be setting up a Distribution Centre near Gloucester probably at RAF Quedgley. This will be up and running Wednesday/ Thursday. When they may well call on us to assist with distribution. The probability is that we will not be required before then. However, there is also concern regarding the whole Thames Valley between Oxford & London which of course is highly populated

 

I will be updated at 10.00 am tomorrow and will update you if necessary.  

     

Regards

Bob Hatcher

Hiya Guys/Gals

With the recent water floods in Gloucester and surrounding areas i am going to request a little help.

I am considering driving down on Friday until Sunday and possibly returning Monday until Tuesday night.

This is not a pre organised tour , its just i think of all the elderly people and young children who are without water etc.

Claire (the wife) returned home from work and told me that Walsall green watch fire brigade (where she works as a firefighter) went there straight from work and returned today and told me of the destruction and carnage.

I just feel i would like to do something to help our own country folk.

I am going to take bottled water with me , this is my request if at all possible , can you ask your companies and maybe yourself to donate fresh water for me to take.

I will be taking a trailer aswel for the water and when its gone i will stay and help out with a little clearing...although it will be a little effort im sure a lot of little efforts will go a long way.

I am currently awaiting a mail/call from the red cross and the fir brigade in Glouster area as to where i can be of any assistance.

If anybody is interested in coming with me please call me on 07792530694

I'm happy to help anyone in the Daventry / Banbury sort of area. I went out looking for floods to tow people out of yesterday but after doing 50miles worth of back roads I only found 1 road closed and managed to persuade 2 people not to go through. I feel this was slightly better than towing them out after thier car was written off.

If anyone else needs any help pm me and I can help in the afternoons. I am busy at weekends though for the time being.

Anyone know what the situation is like in the Derby, Chesterfield and west of derby is like as I am heading up there this weekend.
