Agents Note One

Following the exceptional high rain fall levels of early 2026 there has been a recent flood in the street and we are advised, by the owner, this was caused by blocked drains but number 17 was not affected.
Historically the street has flooded from the river but in 2019/2020 the environment agency spent over five million pound on flood defense schemes they quote -
"The scheme has significantly reduced the risk of flooding along the eastern bank of the River Cober from 20% to 1%"
