A public meeting has been arranged for Saturday 28th October, 10.30am till 12 noon, at the Village Hall.
The meeting is organised by Woodborough Parish Council, supported by Woodborough FLAG, Cllr Helen Greensmith (GBC) and Cllr Boyd Elliott (NCC).
The purpose of the meeting is to understand the sequence of events on Friday 20th October and to review the response (what went well, what could be done differently).
We also need to understand whose properties have been affected and how. Reporting the flooding accurately will give us the best chance of securing more flood resilience measures.
To this end we particularly want to hear from anyone whose property has been damaged by flood water.
More details to follow.

Please can everyone do their bit to keep our drains clear!
Please remove any leaves or hedge cuttings from gardens and paths near Main Street, to stop them blowing onto the carriageway where they will accumulate in the gutters and block our drains.
Please don't use leaf blowers to move leaves, hedge cuttings or cut grass beyond your property's boundary. If you see anyone doing this, please be a friend to the village and ask them to bag and remove the cuttings instead!
