The Environment Agency is seeking volunteers to play a vital role in protecting a Northumberland community from flooding.
Working with Corsenside Parish Council, they are calling on residents in West Woodburn to register as a Flood Warden.
Colin Hall, the Environment Agency’s Flood Engagement Officer in Northumberland, has supported the council to create its own Community Flood Plan, but needs more volunteers to ensure the plan is effective in the event of a flood. West Woodburn is at risk of flooding from the River Rede.
