HCC/BBLP Community Flood Signage Scheme 

BBLP on behalf of Herefordshire County Council are running a community flood signage scheme, whereby trained volunteers from the community are able to close identified eligible roads when flooding is likely to occur. Please contact the Parish Clerk at: clerk@kinnersleygroup-pc.gov.uk/07354811146 if you would be interested in volunteering and would like to find out more about this scheme. 

Under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, Herefordshire Council as the lead local flood authority (LLFA), has a duty to investigate incidents of flooding.
