Latest safety updates near Preston

Agency
6 days ago

Post-flooding survey (December 5-8th 2024 and January 1-7th 2025 ) The Environment Agency issued a number of Flood Warnings and Flood Alerts across parts of Yorkshire in early December 2024 and early January 2025, including Bielby Beck at Bielby. We have a duty to warn and inform for river, coastal and tidal flooding, which we do through the Flood Warning Service. An important part of this service is to ensure that the Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings are issued as accurately as possible and we are providing communities with valuable time to prepare for flooding. The Bielby Beck Flood Warning is relatively new, created in 2022, and we are keen to provide an opportunity for feedback in order to improve its accuracy. Where possible we also work closely with our East Riding of Yorkshire Council partners to share post flood information and to gather on-the-ground information. Therefore, if you have been affected by flooding, or live within or close to this Flood Warning Area, we would like to ask you to complete the survey below. Please go to the following link to access the survey and submit your answers: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Dec24Jan25/ Best wishes Yorkshire Flood Resilience Team Sign up to receive flood warnings: Call Floodline 0345 988 1188, or visit the website https://www.gov.uk/sign-up-for-flood-warnings Make a plan: Taking steps to prepare for flooding can significantly reduce the damage to a home and possessions (by around 40%), reduce risk to life, and reduce the likelihood of suffering from mental health impacts in the future. https://check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/plan-ahead-for-flooding
