Flooding drop-in event for residents and businesses
Published: Wed 30th October, 2024
Charnwood residents and businesses are being invited to attend a flooding drop-in event at Leicestershire County Council’s headquarters in Glenfield on Thursday, 7 November.
Officials from the County Council, borough and district councils, the Environment Agency, water companies and other key organisations will be on hand to offer advice to help people get flood ready.
The event will take place from 2pm to 6pm and has been organised by Leicestershire County Council on the back of the wettest September on record in Leicestershire, which caused widespread disruption around the county, including Charnwood.
This is the second flooding drop-in event of its kind – more than 50 people attended the first one in Harborough in October.
You can get prepared for flooding by:
- Checking your home insurance policy for flood cover
- Signing up for flood warnings
- Making a flood plan
- Checking your flood risk
- Preparing your home
