New Flood Warning Services launched
The Environment Agency has launched new Flood Warning Services in the East Midlands to warn hundreds more home owners of the risk of flooding.
The new flood warnings will be introduced at River Wye in Hogshaw Brook at Buxton covering 316 properties; Baker Lane Brook at Hucknall and Titchfield covering 547 properties; Coppice Brook at Belper covering 96 properties; River Meden at Pleasley covering 96 properties; and Upper Day Brook at Sherwood and Woodthorpe covering 253 properties.
Paul Lockhart, Flood and Coastal Risk Manager for the East Midlands said:
“We want to ensure that everyone has as much time as possible to prepare for flooding which is why we’re pleased that there are more communities across the East Midlands which will now be able to receive our free flood warning service.”
The Environment Agency will be holding drop-in events, to allow residents to discuss flood risk, sign up for flood warnings and increase their resilience to flooding.
