Overview

In line with the Action Plan set out in Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFMRS), we are conducting investigations into areas with a high flood risk and those that have experienced significant flooding. As Risca is one such area, we are looking into the potential of delivering flood alleviation schemes here, and are seeking your views on previous flooding incidents.

Why are we consulting

Through this consultation, we are looking to obtain the views of residents and stakeholders regarding flooding issues and concerns in the Risca area. This will help us identify key challenges and areas experiencing flooding, which will consequently inform future investigations and feasibility studies.

Ways to give your views

Online Survey

A copy of the survey and supporting information is also available at Risca Library and the Snug Coffee Shop.

This survey is available in both Welsh and English. It is available in other languages and formats on request.
