Flooding

Flooding is extremely distressing and the Parish Council can help to advise residents with flooding issues if necessary. Our volunteer Flood Warden, Luke Heaton, has been invaluable in offering advice to local residents and can suggest where to get further help with flooding issues. Contact Luke via the Parish Council, email clerk@duffieldparishcouncil.gov.uk or use our messaging form on this website.

The Environment Agency has further information on their website and we've included some useful links below.

Sandbags

The Parish Council has a limited supply of (empty) sandbags available to local residents, which can be obtained from Duffield Cemetery on Hazelwood Road if needed.
