Early Morning Flooding

The team was tasked early on Wednesday after high tides, strong winds and rain combined to overtop the Stone Quay and flood the lower High Street.
The team provided safety cover for Town Council operatives and passers by and implemented a temporary road closure until police arrived and liaised with the appropriate authorities -  owing to the amount of rocks and debris being thrown into the road.  With 'eyes on', we were also able to provide a commentary to our colleagues at the Environment Agency.
Further high tides and weather warnings give the potential for further flooding on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.
