How Buckinghamshire residents can be protected from flooding

This was caused by the River Great Ouse in the town overflowing and spilling into the streets. Ian Thompson, Buckinghamshire Council’s Corporate Director for Planning, Growth, and Sustainability said: “We’ve seen in these last few months just how terrible the impact of flooding can be and we seize every opportunity we can to find ways of protecting our communities from flooding, whatever the cause. Because the Chilterns are chalk, the area is more prone to groundwater flooding. This is a long-term scheme which tackles groundwater flooding in the Chilterns from a variety of angles, together all aimed at ultimately building resilience to lessen the impact, through stopping flooding in the first place, and ensuring effective warning systems are in place when and where there is a risk.”
