A COMMUNITY advice and support meeting held by the Morpeth Flood Action
Group on Monday was well attended.
Presentations were made by Alan Ure, who specialises in flood resistant
products, John Davies, an insurance claims consultant, and Paul Hendy from
the National Flood Forum.
Mr Davies gave advice on insurance claims and the role of the loss adjuster
in the renovation process. He is prepared to advise anyone whose home was
hit by the flood on an individual basis. His services are free and he can be
contacted on 07786 955935.
Mr Hendy gave an overview of larger flood barrier systems and a manufacturer
of these systems will be making a presentation at a future meeting.
Mr Ure demonstrated flood protection door barriers, Smart Airbricks and back
flow valves and said he will probably be attending the
next meeting on
Monday, November 17 at Morpeth County First School in Goosehill from 7pm.
At the meeting, there will be presentations and question and answer sessions
with a building inspector, planning officer, estate wardens and other
workers from Castle Morpeth Council.
