We are disappointed that once again, the safety surfacing at Hardwicke Park has been deliberately vandalised, this time by setting it alight. The fixings on the basket swing were also tampered with earlier this week and for safety reasons, it has been taken out of use.

It is frustrating and upsetting that a small number of people are damaging facilities provided for local children and families to enjoy. Repairs and replacement items are costly, and the Council must carefully consider the most appropriate way forward before committing further public funds. Unfortunately, this can mean that equipment is unavailable for a number of weeks whilst a decision is made and any agreed works are arranged and carried out.

If anyone has information about either incident, please contact the Parish Office. We will be reporting this vandalism to the Police.

Please find below information from The Environment Agency regarding flooding.

Be flood aware this winter. Flooding can happen at any time of year. While we cannot predict exactly what this winter will bring, taking a few simple actions now can help you stay informed and prepared.

The Environment Agency is here to help. We monitor rainfall, river and sea levels 24 hours a day, issue flood warnings, maintain flood defences and work closely with local partners to support communities before, during and after flooding.

Check your flood risk:

If your property is located within an Environment Agency Flood Warning Area, sign up to the Environment Agency's free Flood Warning Service. It is the simplest way to stay informed if flooding
is expected in your area. You can receive flood warnings by phone, text message or email, giving you valuable time to take action.

Flood information and advice
Flood warnings are an important first step. There are also other ways to help reduce the impacts of flooding.
• Sign up for free flood warnings
• Create a personal flood plan
• Explore property flood resilience measures that can help protect your home
• Check river and rainfall levels in your area
• Check your home or business insurance covers flood risk
• Find out about local Flood Warden schemes and community support. More information is available at www.gov.uk/flooding
Being flood aware does not mean flooding will occur. It simply means knowing where to find information if conditions change.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. By staying informed, you can help make your community more resilient to flooding.
