River after this year's flood

Submitted by admin on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 12:34
This year the river again overflowed its banks thanks to a freak coincidence of weather systems that brought massive widespread flooding to the whole region.

We implemented our usual emergency procedures which have served us so well over the last couple of years. No materials or equipment was lost or damaged.

The protection work we carried out in March did well, leaving us with relatively minor works to do in order prepare for the rainy season next year.
