Meeting discusses the creation of Ludlow’s Flood Action Plan

Working with Thomasin Sayers, Community Flood Resilience Officer at the National Flood Forum, the Group will produce a draft plan based on concerns felt by residents affected by flooding and the consequences of surface water from drains.

The plan will be discussed and refined in early December, and the approved version will act as the Agenda at a meeting with multi-agency representatives in late January.

“Our priority is to establish on-going dialogues with relevant individuals within the Environment Agency, Severn Trent Water, Shropshire Highways and other local and national organisations”, said Rosemary Wood, Chairman of Friends of the Corve and Teme. “If the Friends can speak with one voice for everyone with a river maintenance or water management problem, we can achieve a great deal”.

Rosemary continued, “Our website www.f-c-t.org.uk, contains useful links, historical data and information on planning applications which may affect surface water and drainage, or impinge on existing flood plains.”

Anyone wishing to be involved in the creation of Ludlow’s Flood Action Plan should contact Rosemary Wood on 01584 875438, or email rosemary.wood3@gmail.com. Or you could visit the FCT website, www.f-c-t.org.uk and leave a comment!
