Caroline Payne and Janet Page at former flood troblespot - now draining free

Councillors Caroline Payne and Janet Page at former flood troublespot - now draining free

Following visits by the Environment Agency to town and parish councils some flood warden schemes have been put in place. Cllr Janet Page says that the one in Beaminster is already working well. “Where blocked drains reported to the County Council are kept clear and cleaned out flash floods are less likely.” Cllr Caroline Payne recommended this idea to villagers with problem areas. “It would help if the County Council also ensures hedge and verge trimmings are cleaned away and ditches maintained”.
