Flooding Counts

Because local knowledge holds water.

​

Flooding, poor drainage, and surface water are increasing problems across our area, and development on greenbelt land could make things worse.

​

We’re collecting local evidence of flood risk, blocked drains, pooling water, and drainage problems in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside. If you’ve seen or experienced anything like this, it Counts.

​

Share what you’ve seen. Your local insight matters.

📝 How to Take Part in Flooding Counts

You can include anything else that helps: how often flooding happens, whether it’s worsened over time, nearby drains or ditches, or how it affects access or property.
