Start time 10.00am. Council vehicles will arrive around 10.30am.
On the morning the Council have asked us to focus on clearing leaves from pavements and around cars, and either push the leaves into the middle of the road or put into sacks. The council staff will then clear the leaves from the road and empty sacks into the back of the vehicles.
Please see the poster attached for full details. It would be great if you could print this, preferably in colour, and put it up in your front windows.
New resources pages
The website has been changed to include a Resources section. This still includes important flood information before and during a flood.
However, it now also includes a resource for those who want to prepare their own community flood plan in Cardiff. There are links to the NRW website and documents developed by the Severn Grove, Romilly Crescent and Conway Road Community Flood Plan group such as a template for a flood plan, leaflets, notices and a process and outcome report on a community drop in event. These are generally in MSWord format and are free to download and amend.
Community event 21 Sept
Community Flood Plan event a success
The drop-in event was attended by around 50 people curious to find out about the proposed flood plan including residents of the three streets and from surrounding areas. There was a really positive response to the exhibition and plan and an encouraging number of residents put their name down for joining the flood group and others for receiving further information. Flooding issues, associated problems and possible solutions were raised and these will inform the flood plan which will be finalised over the coming months.
A big thank you to all who came along and to the volunteers who ran the event.
