Residents in a Nottinghamshire village say they are 'over the moon' over news that flood protection measures are set to be installed. The Environment Agency will install measures such as new flood doors and flood barriers to better protect 21 homes in Trowell which are at risk of flooding.
It comes as Trowell has been affected by flooding from the Boundary Brook on four occasions in the last 15 years with several properties experiencing internal flooding and with one house described as having "a moat around it" in 2020. The events have taken a significant toll on the community, including on local resident Carole Bulloch.
Carole, who is among the residents in Trowell benefiting from the scheme, said: “We are over the moon to have been offered property flood resilience measures on our house. Now that they are installed, we feel we have greater peace of mind that, should the rain come, we are more resilient to it.
