Southwell and local villages face growing risks from surface water flooding due to climate change. Download the flyer below to see our practical ideas and suggestions – all from local volunteers – for actions homeowners and landlords can take to make a difference.
How can you help?
Follow the 4 Ps of Driveways: Planning, Permeability, Planting and Professionals, and our tips on other choices you may make if you have a garden. This will help slow water down during heavy rainfall, reduce pressure on the drains and reduce the flood risk to local homes.
