This extreme weather event caused flash floods that inundated homes, businesses, and streets, leaving many without electricity. In a striking twist of fate, a planned flood and climate change workshop held in Wells’ town hall was disrupted by the very storm it aimed to address. Organised by Wells City Council in partnership with Sustainable Wells, the workshop titled “Act to Adapt” sought to equip local residents and business owners with strategies to cope with flooding and other climate-related threats.
