Description
The city council now has responsibilities to prepare, predict and manage flood risk in the city, following the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 making us a lead local flood authority.
Flooding is caused by heavy rainfall, rivers overflowing their banks, water rising out of the ground or sewers overflowing. We are responsible for surface water flooding – flooding from heavy rainfall and minor watercourses.
