Flood-hit villages to get better drainage works
Sleaford Target
|July 02, 2025
LINCOLNSHIRE villages which are at high risk of flooding will be subject to more frequent work as the county council aims to better protect residents from heavy storms.
Work to clean out gulleys, repair drainage systems and prevent surface water flooding is carried out at regular intervals, depending on the road's flooding risk.
A road's history of flooding and near-misses as well as the condition of gulleys are now being taken into account to prioritise the highest risk areas. It comes after Lincolnshire experienced severe flooding for three consecutive years, most recently when more than 200 properties were flooded in January.
