Adobestock 61517951

As we move into the colder months, with heavy rainfall forecast for our region over the next 48 hours, we want to make sure you feel supported and informed. 

Whether it is flooding from roads, rivers, or sewers, it is vital that you contact the right organisation quickly so the right action can be taken. Here is who to contact:

Advice

  • empty any water butts in the garden before the rain starts, this will help reduce the rainwater flow into the drains when a storm arrives
  • check that your home, garden drains, and guttering are free-flowing – clear out any leaves or other waste so rainwater can more easily flow away
  • have a look at the roadside drains around your home and clear any leaves or debris that you can – or get in touch with your local council if blocked
