We are fortunate not to get frequent, severe flooding in Thornbury, but it’s useful to know what to do, and who to contact in case you deal have to deal with this event. Flooding can be caused by a variety of issues, including blocked drains, a burst water main, or a river overflowing its banks. Different agencies respond to these types of problems, and it can be confusing to know who to contact. The South Gloucestershire Council website has a useful list of the different types of flooding and who to get in touch with.
If you’re worried about future flooding, the government has an alert system that you can sign up to on their webpage.
