Flooding Update
Following the floods of 24th November Harpole Parish Council have put together a working party to look at what has potentially caused the problems and what we can do to help ease the situation. We are also pulling together an emergency plan to help those in need.

The long term plans may take some time but we are considering:
- Village survey of drains, ditches etc
- Any impacts from the new building sites
- Potential stores of sandbags and other flood aids
- Pulling together volunteers to give hands on help
In the meantime here are some hints and tips should the need arise again.
