Flood Forum starts work in Shipston

Local residents have answered the call for volunteers to join a local Flood Forum, which held its first meeting last month.

Shipston’s Flood Forum is one of ten being set up across Warwickshire. Keen to involve as many members of the community as possible, the Forum members will look to engage and disseminate information across Shipston and will be looking at ways to enable residents to raise issues and keep up to date with plans. The Flood Forum will develop an action plan in response to issues of most concern locally.

The Shipston group, with support from the National Flood Forum, will then meet with all agencies responsible for flood risk to encourage better partnership working.

The group is in its very early stages and further updates will be published in the Shipston Forum. For more information, contact the Town Clerk on 662180.
