Project Groundwater is a partnership project, funded by Defra as part of the £150 million Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme which is managed by the Environment Agency to develop and test new approaches to resilience tailored to local communities. They aim to transform how communities prepare and respond to groundwater flooding; Kimpton is one of the communities they will be working to support.
To ensure that Project Groundwater delivers the best possible service to the communities affected by groundwater flooding, community engagement is at the heart of the project. They have launched a Community Readiness Survey to find out about current levels of knowledge and concern around groundwater flooding in Kimpton. They will use these results to plan collaborative work with residents and businesses on groundwater flooding in our local area.
You can find out more information about the project and to take part in the survey on https://www.projectgroundwater.co.uk/index.php?contentid=81
