Flooding: Drainage & Watercourses - Nottinghamshire County Council

Flooding: Drainage & Watercourses
Everton Parish Council
Several properties flooded, one badly. Cellars and gardens under water.
Drains backed up, sewage floating
about.
Problem believed to be excessive
water draining from nearby fields.
• Would be helpful if someone with
expertise in this area could provide
advice on the cause, the remedial
work required to minimise future
risk and implementation of this.
Contacted Severn Trent,
Environment Agency, the
local drainage board and
Notts County Council.
Difficult to get anyone to
accept responsibility.
Headon-cum- Upton, Grove and Stokeham Parish Council
The parish have experienced on-going drainage problems, not helped by last summer’s floods.
Excessive water flowing from
landowners field across Thorpe Street.
Lack of dyke maintenance.
Have been in contact with
Notts County Council.
Hodsock Parish Council
Some of the Langold residents are still not in their homes after nearly a year of repairs.
Main problem – drains in the village
of Langold were extremely blocked.
Filled in culvert contributed to flooding.
Linby Parish Council
Several homes on Wighay Road, Hucknall were flooded.
Clearing of culverts.
Problems of excess surface water
appear greater than ever.
• Better understanding of who is
responsible for what.
• Introduction of a mapping system
for streams to establish the
ownership of the stream and liability
