Another great day on the road, this time in Chelmsford with Fran @FBathews & her team hearing about our suite of connected crisis services across health, refugee services & emergency response. Year by year, cases in all three become more complex. Grateful to our amazing people 😀

Eddie's story of the Canvey floods completely stopped us in our tracks. bbc.in/3Ju9QHV
She was just 6 when the floods struck in 1953. Eddie lost her 4-yr-old sister Judith - and along with that, her own childhood as well.
