Suffolk County Council has created the ‘Report a flood in Suffolk’ webpage.
www.suffolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/flooding-and-drainage/report-a-flood-in-suffolk
This helps to inform users which organisation they should report their flood to, and provides links to try and make this process as simple as possible. Historically, flooding tends to go under-reported due to the fear of an increase in insurance costs, but a new government scheme known as “Flood Re” has helped to significantly reduce the burden on homeowners. If you are aware of any areas which may have suffered from flooding, we would encourage you to use our reporting tool and make the relevant risk management authorities aware.
You can find more information about ‘Food Re’ and how flooding is managed in Suffolk by going to the Suffolk County Council webpage.
www.suffolk.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/flooding-and-drainage/flood-management-in-suffolk
You can also find plenty more information on a number of different flooding and drainage issues (such as ditches, highway drainage, and the responsibilities of private owners) on the Suffolk County Council webpage.
