After The Flood: Provide Information To Help With The Response

⛈️ We hope everyone is OK after the recent flooding. A huge thank you to Rob from Drain Doctor who unblocked many drains last Friday. Thanks to everyone who mucked in to clear drains, put out barriers, and assist with the clean-up.

The Town Council is gathering information to pass on to Highways to help them tackle drainage problems. Highways has asked for any videos we could share that show the water flow in the Market Place. If you have any footage please send to clerk@northleach.gov.uk.

Reporting flooding

If your property has been/is affected by flooding, please report 👉 using the Flood Online Reporting System (FORT).

Reporting helps local authorities to understand flood risk across the county and prioritise resources. Please be aware reporting on FORT will not lead to an emergency response.
