I want to request sandbags to prevent excess surface water entering my property

Question:
I want to request sandbags to prevent excess surface water entering my property
Answer:
Although we do not have a duty to provide sandbags, we recognise that we have a duty of care. Because of this, the stocks available to supply in the event of flooding will be used as per the following guiding principles.

The use of sandbags will be to protect (in order of priority):

  • life
  • critical infrastructure
  • buildings

The distribution of sandbags will be co-ordinated by the emergency services working with the council. Sandbags will be used to protect the fabric of properties rather than damage to outbuildings and/or gardens.

Sandbags will not be issued directly to the general public.

Due to the risk of contamination, we will collect and dispose of any sandbags we place.

If you are concerned about immediate flooding please make a new request by reporting it online.
