Karen is encouraging all of her constituents with an interest to respond to Staffordshire County Council's consultation on flood risk management.
She said:
"I know from constituent correspondence the devastation that flooding can cause and how hard it can be for people to get back on their feet when it occurs.
"It's really important to make sure that those people who are or have been affected have the chance to tell the County Council what they think of future flood risk plans, so I'm really pleased that they are extending their consultation to the end of September.
"To contribute, just visit the website www.staffordshire.gov.uk/enviroment/Flood-Risk-Management before the deadline."
