The Resilience Group has been set up to support our community to be more resilient in the face of floods, extreme heat, fires, cyber atacks and other challenges,
There will be regular updates about the activities of the group on here, and the ‘Piddlehinton & White Lackington’ WhatsApp Group.
Based on the experience in the valley earlier in the year, it seemed obvious to start with a focus on flooding.
On 29 October Alastair Maxwell, Natural Flood Management Adviser and Lisa Milton, Flood Resilience Engagement Officer – both from the Environment Agency – gave excellent presentations to help us understand more about flooding and what action we can take.
We are currently working on a Flood Plan with the Parish Council, and on getting resources in place in case water levels rise in December as they did in 2025.
Read the notes from the first meeting and see the slide presentation on the Flood page.
We understand that flooding is an issue which affects our whole valley, however because we are just starting out I hope it will be understood that we are concentrating on Piddlehinton and White Lackington for the time being.
