From Joanne Lancaster, Managing Director, HDC.
​
​Following on from the messages sent out by the District Council over Christmas, I once again need to draw your attention for information on water levels in Huntingdonshire. Levels in our rivers and watercourses are still relatively high, the ground is saturated and we are aware from a range of sources that we have a persistent period of rain heading our way; we currently have an amber warning from the Met Office for rain and a yellow warning from the Environment Agency(EA) for flooding linked to the Great Ouse, its tributaries and network of drains.
 
We have previously shared the attached diagram (see home page) with you and for convenience I share it again, which simply outlines responsibilities around flooding, and I confirm that you can share it with your residents. If there are early signs of issues, and you are aware of problems within your communities, please use the attached flow chart to request the support you need from the relevant organisations. Wherever possible you should encourage your residents to take reasonable precautions now to keep their homes and buildings secure; proactive action is always better than response in relation to such issues. For clarity(and to pre-empt the inevitable questions), the District Council does not have a duty to provide sandbags to residents or businesses; we do carry a small stock which we have for emergency use during a live incident, so please do not direct your residents to contact us.
 
Two useful links for both you and your residents are :
 
https://www.fws.environment-agency.gov.uk/app/olr/register   this will allow you/ them to register for EA notifications if they are in an area which may be at risk.
 
https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/warnings  which has details of information on current flood alerts in place.
 
I hope that you find this information useful.
