Residents of Ruskington may notice Environment Agency teams and contractors working along local rivers and watercourses.
These checks and maintenance operations are crucial for ensuring that flood management systems are functioning properly.
The teams focus on clearing blockages, maintaining vegetation, and ensuring that water can flow freely through rivers to reduce flood risk. Vegetation management helps prevent flooding by reducing weed growth that can obstruct water movement. The works are carefully timed, usually between August and October, to prepare for the winter season.
For more information, or to report incidents like flooding or blockages, please contact the Environment Agency at 03708 506 506 or the incident hotline at 0800 80 70 60.
