Flooding

Sandbags

We don’t have a legal responsibility to provide sandbags. Those residents and businesses wanting sandbags should make their own arrangements. For example, sandbags are often available from builders’ merchants.   

We work closely with the Environment Agency and may distribute sandbags to those properties identified to be at the highest risk of internal flooding, and only where sandbags can be safely deployed.
