Saturday 30 March, 11am-12.30pm, Lewes Climate Hub, 32 High Street, Lewes, BN7 2LU

Lewes has experienced severe flooding several times and the town is at increasing risk due to climate change and development. One particular problem is surface water flooding, which happens when there is too much rain for the drains and streets fill with water. One way of reducing this type of flooding is to slow down the water so that it can sink safely into the soil or drains. This event will look at steps that you can take in your home, garden and street to help protect yourself and your community from surface water flooding. Join us to delve into the practical solutions and meet experts including from the Friends of Lewes and Love Our Ouse with support from the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust. Bring your questions to learn more about practical techniques for sustainable flood prevention and climate resilience.

NB. This is a NEW date which replaces the event previously scheduled for 23rd March
