Flooding
The prime responsibility for protecting property from flooding lies with the property owner. The Council cannot prevent flooding occurring and whilst the council has no statutory duty to help property owners the council will assist during flooding incidents where and when it can, but has a limited number of people available and will prioritise its assistance towards those areas and people considered most in need. Please contact ACCESSLine on 08452 777 778.
The Council can advise and possibly assist with longer term flood prevention and anyone wishing to discuss such matters should contact the Roads Division by calling ACCESSLine on 08452 777 778.
