Karen recently arranged a meeting at the Methodist Church in Endon together with Staffordshire County Council councillor for Biddulph South and Endon - Keith Flunder and SCC Flood risk manager - Jamie Cooper to discuss the ongoing issues of flooding in Endon.
Karen said,
"I was pleased to hold this meeting with members of the Endon Flood Action Group, Cllr Keith Flunder and Jamie Cooper from SCC. The Action Group told us about their experiences of flooding and I was given an update on the work SCC have been doing to try and secure suitable locations to install Natural Flood Management defences. These will create temporary storage that fills up during a flood event and then slowly releases water back into the river, reducing the peak water flow."
SCC have said they will continue to work with local land owners in an attempt to find a sufficient amount of water storage upstream from Endon to enable the scheme to begin.
