Flooding – be ready, be prepared.

Please see the attached poster produced by LCC to help residents and Parishes understand who to contact regarding areas of responsibility in times of flooding.

A drop in event is being held at County Hall in Glenfield on Thursday 7th November from 2pm to 6pm.

At the event, officers from the County Council and representatives from the Environment Agency, District Councils, water companies and other key organisations will be on hand to offer advice on preparing to reduce the risk of flooding. Anyone with questions ahead of the drop-in event may contact the flood team by emailing: flooding@leics.gov.uk

This information is very timely in light of the terrible flooding that has recently occurred in Spain and the wettest September experienced here in Great Britain.
