The Parish Council has sent us the following useful information-
The recent rain and flow from springs has prompted the Parish Council to review the measures in place to manage the risk of flooding in the village.
Our lead flood authority is Derbyshire County Council and reports of flooding problems can be made to them here. Reporting flooding emergencies.
Useful information is also available available on the Parish Council’s own website here. Advice on flooding. This includes the availability of sand bags in the village.
Finally, like Derbyshire County Council, the Parish Council would like to take the opportunity to remind all land and property owners with watercourses of their responsibility for keeping them clear enough to allow the free flow of water. Watercourses include man made ditches as well as natural brooks and streams. Debris can be removed and bank vegetation cut back, but the watercourse should not be altered. If there is a watercourse on the boundary of your property you are responsible up to the middle of it. For more in formation see the government site Owning a watercourse.
