Preparing for a Flood and Protecting your Property

According to the Environment Agency, over two million people in England live and work in properties at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, whilst more face flood threats from groundwater, surface water, sewers, and reservoirs.

At Gocompare, we have put together a guide to preparing for a flood and protecting your property – https://www.gocompare.com/home-insurance/guide/flood-damage-repair-and-prevention/

In extreme conditions you won’t be able to stop flood water, and you should always put personal safety above attempts to protect property and possessions. Despite this, there are steps that you can take to keep water out, to buy yourself time to preserve property and possessions, and to limit the damage that flood water does.

Have you always wanted to be more involved in what happens in your local community?

The common misconception about council members is that all they do is attend council meetings, yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. Being a local councillor has a wide range of responsibilities and rewards, but the most significant aspect of the job is simply having regular interactions with residents in their own neighbourhood. No one councillor is in charge of any particular decision because the Parish Council functions as a unified non-political body. Council members speak for their community as a whole while being conscious of and sensitive to the concerns of any special minorities. Farley Parish Councillor receives no remuneration for their attendance or involvement on the Parish Council.
