Flood Risk Road Show
On the 23rd February 2016 our Engineer Thomas Walker visited the Flood Roadshow at Sowerby Bridge Christ Church. The event was set up by Calderdale Council and aimed at residents and business owners in order to help the affected towns recover after the Boxing Day floods.
Exhibitors such as Calderdale Council, Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and the National Flood Forum all attended
Thomas, a Sowerby Bridge resident, and a member of our Flood Risk Team attended the event to see how the Local Authority and Environment Agency aim to reduce the flood risk to the area. Sowerby Bridge along with some of the surrounding Villages are in a high flood risk area and therefore we do carry our quite a lot of Flood Risk Assessments within the area.
Thomas, found the roadshow very informative and would recommended that all local residents at risk of flooding within the Calderdale area attend the next roadshow located at Cannon Winter Centre, Savile Road, Elland on the 2nd March 2016 between 3-7pm.
