· Some residents were allowed back briefly to collect belongings. This was carefully controlled through a sign-in and out procedure.
· Site remains very dangerous and access is not permitted.
· Overnight accommodation for a further two nights has been made for those residents who are unable to make their own arrangements.
Across the Borough
· We have had teams out & about checking risk areas throughout the weekend on a 24 hour basis. This includes visually monitoring river levels, flows and flooding; alerting householders to risks and liaising with residents to assess risk to property; deploying sandbags to protect property; implementing road closures where necessary; and dealing with fallen trees
Generally
· Please stay away from the river Stour, do not attempt to access riverside walks or go anywhere near the river as it remains a threat to safety.
· Please don’t go to have a look at flooding – this is a risk to your personal safety and could endanger others
· Please do not attempt to drive through flood water, even if it appears passable
· Please respect road closures
