Residents of Sutton and surrounding areas are invited to visit the Floodmobile when it comes to Sutton this Thursday (17 February).

The Floodmobile, with samples of over fifty practical flood protection measures, will be at the Brooklands Centre car park from 10:00AM to 3:00PM.

It’s a great opportunity to come and learn what can be done to help make our properties more resilient against flooding.

Renowned flood resilience expert Mary Long-Dhonau OBE will talk to visitors and offer advice. She has had personal experience of flooding on several occasions, and writes on Twitter about flood issues as @floodmary. Also present will be Fola Ogunyoye CEng CWEM FCIWEM, Director of TJAY Consultancy Ltd. He has more than thirty years’ experience in providing flood risk, water and environmental management consultancy services. They will be joined by Matt Tandy, Principal Engineer at infrastructure consultancy AECOM.

Many areas of our region are unfortunately at increased risk of flooding due to climate change and projected increases in extreme rainfall. Events like this one are an opportunity to talk to experts and learn what we can do as individuals and communities to make our properties more flood resilient. Do come and join us – it’s free!
