Monday 28th July
|
Residents and elected Members are invited to join us at a drop-in event next month as we continue to support communities following the recent flooding. |
|
We will be at Billingborough, in the Recreation Ground car park on Monday, 28th July, 11am-6pm, (The What 3 Words location is: redouble.mistaking.means.complete) with a mobile flood pod where householders can get advice on information tailored to their specific circumstances. FloodPod brings flood protection activity to life, offering the chance to see, touch, and understand practical measures that protect homes and businesses. Leaflets, guides and other assets will be available to download or take away. SKDC is hosting this event so that visitors can speak with different agencies such as our Emergency Planning team, police and fire officers, as well as experts from the Environment Agency and Anglian Water.We are also welcoming the property flood resilience champion ‘Flood Mary’ to this event, who has made it her mission to raise awareness of flood risk and support those at risk. Unlike some experts, Mary is a flood victim herself and knows exactly how to communicate these issues to a community. We know that time for thought and advanced preparation helps to reduce the devastating impact of floods on individuals, families and businesses, and would welcome your visit. We look forward to meeting you there. In the meantime, more information is available online at thefloodhub.co.uk and www.southkesteven.gov.uk/floodingThe response to this event may inform the demand for future venues elsewhere in due course. Best wishes, |
