Local flooding expert scoops Shipston Community Award

Shipston resident, Phil Wragg, was announced the worthy winner of the Shipston Award at the Annual Town Council Meeting in April.

The award, which celebrates outstanding voluntary work for the local community, was made in recognition of Phil’s tireless efforts to mitigate flood risk in and around Shipston. As chairman of Shipston Area Flood Action Group, Phil is now the go to person for flood advice and regularly supports the town council in discussions with developers to help ensure flood risks are minimised.

In accepting the award, Phil Wragg said: “It is an honour and a privilege to receive this award which is very much appreciated. However, I am only one of eight SAFAG volunteers and it is very much a team effort. I’d also like to thank the Town Council for supporting SAFAG’s work”
