Residents in Herefordshire affected by recent flooding an being urged to contact Herefordshire Council for further support

Over the past few days a number of communities have been affected by flooding across the county.

While most major routes are now open, a number of smaller roads remain closed.

Herefordshire Council is calling on those who have suffered property flooding from Storm Henk to contact them by completing a form.

Cllr Philip Price, Cabinet Member Transport and Infrastructure, said: “One of the key ways to help our county become more flood resilient in the future is to learn from flooding experiences. This is why it is so important that anybody affected gets in touch and helps us to develop as clear and broad a picture as possible of how flooding affects our county, and how we can best safeguard and respond to future flooding events.

“There is a wealth of support on offer, but by sharing your vital local knowledge, you can make a big difference in helping to better prevent and combat flooding in future.”
