Portsmouth is experiencing changing weather patterns and more floods, so we need to make sure plans to prepare the city against future flooding are up to date and accurate.
You can help.
Portsmouth City Council (PCC) are inviting comments on the new local flood risk management strategy (LFRMS).
The strategy looks at how the council, its partners and residents can better manage flooding from the sea, surface water, groundwater and sewers.
From November 25th there will be a four-week consultation on the DRAFT strategy.
PCC are asking you to:
- let them know about flooding in your local area. You can do this by FREEPOST to: Flooding consultation, c/o Community Engagement Team, Freepost (SCE 4514), Civic Offices, Portsmouth, PO1 2YZemail to: drainageteam@portsmouthcc.gov.ukor web survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Portsmouthflood
- help them check that their information about previous flooding is correct
- comment on the plans for managing flooding in each area of the city
The DRAFT strategy will be available at your local library and you will be able to make comments via the online form.
Or you can view documents, make comments, ask questions, talk through concerns or share experiences of local flooding by coming along to one of the drop-in sessions. These will be held at:
28th November 2013 - Anchorage Lodge, Sywell Crescent - 2 - 6pm
