Residents visiting Catmose House can speak directly with representatives from several key organisations. Flood Mary and Anglian Water are on hand to provide insights into local water management and drainage issues. The Environment Agency and the LLR Resilience Partnership are also available to discuss broader flood risk strategies and emergency response plans. These experts are offering practical advice and answering questions to help residents understand their individual flood risk and take proactive measures to protect their properties.
Councillor Christine Wise (Lib Dem) is also present at the event to speak with residents and hear their concerns. This open forum emphasises the council's commitment to working with the community to address environmental challenges. The presence of multiple agencies and a local councilor highlights a unified approach to flood resilience, recognizing that effective prevention requires collaboration between government bodies, utility providers, and the public.
The event serves as a crucial reminder for all Rutland residents to stay informed and prepared. Flooding can have devastating consequences, but taking steps to understand the risks and implement prevention measures can significantly reduce its impact.
