FLOODING
Flooding is the responsibility of a range of people and organisations. The Town Council does not have responsibility to prevent or alleviate flooding. Nevertheless, the Council has an Emergency Plan and Flooding specific Action Card. It has also decided to distribute sandbags (provided by and also available from EDDC) and has a small stock of sand at the Beehive, which through prior arrangement, the public can collect.
The Environment Agency informs the Council of Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings together with a map and other information (eg how to prepare for flooding). These can be found at:
Check for flooding in England - GOV.UK (check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk)
People can sign up to receive Flood Warnings from the Environment Agency at:

DEFIBRILLATORS
To find out where the nearest defibrillator to you is located, you can click on the link below which takes you to the national database website:-
Defib finder – find the defibrillators nearest you.
To use a public defibrillator, you should call 999 during which call they will tell you the code needed to gain access to it (this is to deter vandalism). However, some defibrillators are not registered with the national database and they may require you to follow other instructions in order to unlock them, such as call a specified number on the defibrillator unit itself.
