Parish Council Flood Warden

Parish Council seeks Flood Warden

Flooding – a growing problem

Flooding seems to have become a more regular occurrence in Stinchcombe over the last few of years. Problem areas include Berkeley Road, an area on Echo Lane and Church Lane/Wick Lane near the war memorial. The Parish Council would like to appoint a volunteer Flood Warden to help develop a more co-ordinated approach to tackling this issue.

Responsibilities

In brief, the Flood Warden’s responsibilities will be to:

provide a point of contact on flooding matters
carry out timely inspections of problem areas
talk to landowners informally about any issues and keep the Parish Council informed
let Parish Council know if there is a need to contact other bodies e.g. Gloucestershire Highways

Your paramount responsibility will be to keep yourself safe and we will discuss with you how that can be achieved.

The Flood Warden will not be personally responsible for clearing ditches or unblocking gratings, gullies or pipes.

To find out more

If you may be interested, please contact Councillor Kath Hudson for a more detailed job description. She can also suggest relevant guidance and resources you may wish to look at.
