Welcome to Great Eccleston Resilience and Flood Website.

Upto date info on - Flooding and other alerts

This is a community site that is designed to inform the general public in Great Eccleston about the flooding and resilience dangers within the village.  Clicking on the Alerts section will allow the general public to see the most upto date information. 

Flooding can be in one of two forms, river flooding and ground water floodimg.  Surface water flooding is currently a bigger issue with more and more houses being built, water courses get damaged or blocked and flooding can occur.

Another issue that we have to contend with is wildfires due to peoples stupidity, namely unprotected BBQs on parched ground or oil dripping cars on the car parks at the Show say. This site looks at both of these issues and the alerts that get posted weekly.

This website has three streams: Flooding, Resilience and envirnoment. Click on the name to visit the stream.

This website is administered by David Astall the Village Flood Officer and Chairman of Great Eccleston FLAG.
