Hopefully this post is just academic and there will be no threats of flooding in the village. It is important to watch the stream at its various choke points as these spots get very easily blocked with debris including broken branches and plastic. Fortunately these areas were cleared in May by volunteers; one section was almost totally blocked!
The Flood Protection Agency has just launched their new website, and with numerous flood warnings currently in force across the UK it aims to provide a lifeline to individuals and businesses looking for a single source of flood related information, latest flood warnings and a special helpline.
As well as guidance on how to protect a property, types of flooding and how to assess a flood risk, importantly the site recommends trusted, accredited suppliers of all types of flood protection products and specialists in flood risk assessment surveys. All FPA members comply with the association’s code of practice as a sound guarantee to customers of the highest standards of quality, integrity, safety and reliability. This means their flood protection products are quality assured and, where appropriate, are Kitemark certified as a symbol of trust. In particular, the site features two illustrations of a home and a commercial property – by hovering over water entry points, a list of product providers pops up with a link to members and how to contact them.
For more information, visit their website or contact the FPA helpline on 033 33 23 8701.
