SANDBAGS
SKDC have offered parishes the opportunity to hold and maintain a stock of sand and sandbags. This offer has been accepted with a tonne of sand and 100 sandbags having been delivered to Gablestock, Valley Lane, Long Bennington. The sandbags are available (currently unfilled) for collection, during normal business hours, should further incidents of flooding threaten. It is the intention to arrange for a group of volunteers to fill the sandbags.
Please note, if further help is required during a flood incident, contact Lincolnshire CC, lead local flood authority on 01522 782082.
SKDC have also advised that where supplies allow, where there is a serious risk of internal flooding, sandbags may be provided on a priority basis by calling 01476 406080 or 01476 406040 (out of hours). All requests for sandbags will be triaged by the on-call team.
