The Parish Council have been contacted by a company called Risk & Policy Analysts who are carrying out a study for the Environment Agency on resilience to flooding. They are currently collecting views and opinions and are interested in questions such as:
- Are property owners and occupiers aware of Property Flood Resilience measures?
- Do property owners and occupiers have any measures installed (e.g. flood doors)?
- Are there any issues that are hindering owners and occupiers from taking up Property Flood Resilience?
They are using an internet-based survey to collect opinions on Property Flood Resilience from owners and occupiers. The survey can be accessed via: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ownersandoccupiers/
They have asked us to pass the invitation on to property owners and occupiers in Wymondley Parish, so that they can find out what residents think about Property Flood Resilience.
The study is part of wider work on increasing resilience to flooding (see https://www.gov.uk/government/news/29-million-extra-funding-to-boost-action-on-making-homes-more-resilient-to-floods for more information).
