Jonathan Lord recently chaired two successful Flood Forum meetings in Pirbright and in Normandy. These fora bring together all the relevant Borough, Parish and County Councils and the other relevant utility companies, agencies and landowners. They also give Parish Councillors and local residents the opportunity to raise individual issues and to point out problem areas. At each meeting there is a long list of immediate action points such as the clearing of particular ditches and drains but the fora have also been instrumental in getting major research studies commissioned that will shape future flood defence work for the villages.
