Residents 'over the moon' by flood measures fitted at their homes

Residents in a Nottinghamshire village say they are 'over the moon' over news that flood protection measures are set to be installed. The Environment Agency will install measures such as new flood doors and flood barriers to better protect 21 homes in Trowell which are at risk of flooding.

Carole, who is among the residents in Trowell benefiting from the scheme, said: “We are over the moon to have been offered property flood resilience measures on our house. Now that they are installed, we feel we have greater peace of mind that, should the rain come, we are more resilient to it. "The quality of the products on offer is high, our replacement front and side doors are very similar to what we had before, albeit more secure and now flood resilient. We are extremely grateful.”

Environment Agency Area Flood Risk Manager Dave Turnbull said: “With our changing climate we are unable to eliminate the risk of all flooding but we can help communities become more resilient to it. We hope that the Property Flood Resilience measures will help to give the community some reassurance by ensuring a flood does less damage and life can get back to normal much quicker.”
