Surrey CC Continues to Help After Flood

Surrey County Council’s  been  doing its bit to tackle the fallout from the severe weather over the festive period.

Now we have news that Highways teams have dealt with around 150 instances of flooding affecting roads and nearly 600 cases of fallen trees. Meanwhile Surrey Fire and Rescue Services had more than 1,000 calls between 23 December and Christmas Day morning, when the weather was at its worst

In addition the county’s social care teams helped to staff rest centres at the height of the bad weather and have helped residents needing accommodation due to flooding. While many people have been able to stay with family and friends there have been about 20 cases where the council has had to put people up in hotels..

Adult social care teams have also been visiting vulnerable people without power to make sure they have everything they need.
