Requesting Your Feedback: Flooding Survey

If you live in one of the communities that are located in the Wootton Brook or Harpers Brook catchment areas, you may soon receive a survey through the post from West Northamptonshire and North Northamptonshire Councils, as part of the Environment Agency funded RAIN project.

The purpose of the survey is to explore the topic of flooding; we are keen to learn about your personal views, experiences and understanding of flood risk.ย  The survey is open until Friday 19 May and we look forward to receiving your responses.

If you have any questions, please contact a member of the RAIN team via email: rain@westnorthants.gov.uk.

Many thanks for your support.
