Flood wardens are Volunteers with valuable resource in the fight against flooding!
During severe storm events, flooding can occur at a number of locations in the Town at the same time. Monitoring every potential flood risk area is extremely difficult. Flood wardens are essential to us because they can contact us with the most up to date information which would otherwise go unrecorded.
Even if it's just a phone call to us to say that a river level has got higher, we can use that information to see what areas are under threat and take the
necessary action.
