Historic Flooding
The Parish Coucil maintians a record of hostoric flooding in teh parish. This record comprises a map and photographic record of areas prone to flooding. This information complements with actual data the DEFRA Flooding map which is largely theoretical based on land and watercourse levels. This information is particularly useful when considering planning applications which are in the proximity of areas prone to flooding.
Residents are encouraged to submit photographs for inclusion, especially for areas and dates that have not yet been adequately recorded.
