The events around Jan 7th/8th 2005 will be in the thoughts of everyone in Haydon Bridge for many years to come.
If you are not aware we suffered devastating flooding on those days and have had to live with the aftermath ever since.
What we are trying to do?
We hope through this website we can provide a resource that can help local residents should similar events occur in the future. This information will mainly be provided via our Action Plan which is split into 3 sections.
Action Plan
Preparation & Prevention
Information on what you can do to prevent or minimise damage caused by flooding on your property & and harm to yourself and others.
During a Flood
Information on what you can do in an emergency to minimise the damage to your property and risk to yourselves and others.
After a Flood
Information on clearing up after a flood & dealing with insurance claims.
We will also provide you with local Flood Maps and links to organisations that can provide you with up to date information on Flood Warnings and new innovations/schemes to minimise the damage during any future floods.
