Floods
This survey has now closed
Flooding has become more of an issue over the past few years,
with higher tides causing flooding on Hayling Island during the
winter and heavy rain storms causing disruption on the
mainland.
Havant Borough Council is aware of many locations where flooding
or poor drainage is a problem, but we would like to complement our
existing knowledge by getting a fuller picture of known local
flooding problems. If you are aware of any flooding problem in your
local area we would like to hear from you.
The information we receive will then be plotted onto a map to
see where the problem areas mostly occur.
This information will then assist in our understanding of
flooding and how problems may be dealt with when dealing with
planning applications in the Borough.
Residents in some wards of the borough have already been sent
questionnaires within the past year from their local councillor
regarding flood and drainage issues. However we would still like to
hear from you as some of the details and information requested are
different.
An online form is available on our website for you to send
us details of areas you know are affected by flooding or poor
drainage. Anyone wishing to view this can visit one of our Customer
Access Points which have free internet use. You will find them at
your local libraries in Waterlooville, Havant, Leigh Park, Emsworth
and Hayling Island. Other access points can be found in Leigh Park,
Hayling Island and Stakes Community Centres as well as the Civic
Offices.
Some confusion often occurs as to who is responsible for what
when it comes to flooding, drainage and sewers so Havant Borough
Council has published a leaflet explaining the difference between
the three and the responsibilities of the Council, Southern Water
and the Environment Agency. The Leaflet is available from Havant
Borough Council Customer Services at the Civic Offices or can be viewed on-line by
