Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May
Look out for Road Closure Wardens in hi viz jackets around town manning the signage necessary to close the roads in the event of a flood event in Southwell. This practice Dry Run is an essential element of community resilience that Southwell Flood Forum has been promoting, supported by Southwell Town Council, Newark and Sherwood District Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Environment Agency and Notts Fire and Rescue Service. To find out more about this Scheme go to (link as below) and do chat to the Wardens if you happen upon them. We are still looking out for people who live near the trigger points to be our ‘eyes’ to observe any worrying rise in water levels in the watercourses or on the road.
