A dedicated flood drop-in centre, established in Inverness in response to recent flooding in Balloch, Culloden and Smithton, will host an exhibition of flood protection products later this month.
On Friday 28 October, the exhibition will be held at the Culloden and Smithton Free Church Hall (from 9am to 7pm). It is being organised by the Scottish Flood Forum, an independent voice funded by the Scottish Government to support and represent those affected by, or at risk of flooding, and The Highland Council.
A wide selection of property-specific flood protection products, including flood barriers, air brick covers and temporary measures such as sandbags will be on display.
Matt Smith, who heads the Council’s Flood Team, said: “This is a great opportunity for homeowners who have suffered from flooding or for anyone who would like some impartial advice, to view the variety of products that are available. These products offer a cost effective way of minimising the risk of flooding to your property. Anyone is welcome and no appointment is necessary. The public can be assured that any advice given would be independent and tailored to their needs.”
