Quick action by Cllr Sally Maddocks on flood alert in Glasson

18 April 2024

Last week’s spring tides were far higher than predicted, concerning local residents and boat owners in Glasson.  Councillor Sally Maddocks, who represents Ellel, lives in Glasson village, and seeing the high water level, immediately contacted the Environment agency and the Canal and River Trust; and also reported to Lancashire County Council missing ’road liable to flooding’ warning signs. In response, Lancashire County Highways temporarily closed the road for the next tide, and put up temporary flood warning signs.
