Flood Barrier Awareness Days

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS newsfeed. Thanks for visiting!

The Scottish Flood Forum is aware there is a lot of concern regarding protecting properties.

Paul Hendy of SFF commented,

“My continued stance is each home owner has responsibility to protect their property and this is not necessarily the responsibility of the respective Council. In order to promote flood protection products and to let residents see them for themselves I have arranged a number of Flood Barrier Awareness Days to be held in various communities across Scotland.”

 

Dates, Times & Places

Broxburn – 16 September (Wednesday) – Strathbrock Community Centre, Broxburn (Strathbrock Partnership Centre, 189 (a) West Main Street, Broxburn EH52 5LH) at 7pm

Milnathort – 29 September (Tuesday) – ideally in the town hall but the Jolly Beggar would be a possible alternative. 3-7pm same time as the flood surgery

Cupar – 30 September (Wednesday) same time and venue as the flood surgery i.e. 3- 7pm in the Café, County Buildings, St Catherine Street, Cupar, KY15 4TB.

 

Event Description

The display and demonstration will be done by Rob Turner – who is an independent specialist in flood products. He does not work for any FD company but offers independent impartial advice on what is most suitable and affordable in respective properties.

Following the demonstration he will then arrange a no obligation and free of charge site survey / visit to any one who would like him to look at their properties.

The estimate will then be sent, but no follow up calls, or visits will be done. – Rob has many years in the building trade, and has extensive knowledge and understanding of the problems associated with protecting property.

It is anticipated once we know how many products are required the keenest prices will be negotiated to ensure that savings will be passed on to clients.

Flooding in Scotland

Once again the recent rain has caused wide spread and devastating flooding. Sadly many business and families have had their property destroyed or badly damaged by flood waters. We are liaising with our colleagues in local councils, government and other agencies to  identify how we can best assist flood hit communities.

The Scottish Flood Forum has already written to Moray Council offering help and support during the recovery period. Please keep an eye on this website, the Moray Council website and the local newspaper for further information on the assistance we will be providing over the coming weeks and months.

Both the recently flooded communities in Milnathort and Cupar have benefitted from the expertise and support advice, from the SFF, where regular weekly flood surgeries provide real help.

If you have been flooded and need help please download the Scottish Flood Forum Post Flooding Factsheet, and feel free to make contact with Paul Hendy of the Scottish Flood Forum. We are here as a free service to help flood affected communities.
