The group continually monitors flood risks in Minsterley Parish as well as rainfall statistics and the levels of streams and rivers and alerts Shropshire Council Flooding Department to problems. The Flood Action Group is an independent Parish Organisation set up with the help and on going assistance of the National Flood Forum (NFF). It is also supported and funded by Minsterley Parish Council.

If you or a neighbour is in need of urgent support:

If life is in danger – call 999
For anything else flooding related (e.g. next steps for recovery, insurance) – please call the National Flood Forum helpline 01299 403055 for assistance and advise.

As a reminder if you or a neighbour has been flooded, please ensure this is reported through the correct channels to Shropshire Council, Environment Agency and Severn Trent as required:

Shropshire Council: flood@shropshire.gov.uk
Environment Agency: 0800 80 70 60
If you experience sewer water backup in your downstairs toilet during flooding inform Severn Trent: 0800 782 4444.

Shropshire Council is the responsible risk management authority for flooding from Ordinary Watercourses. Environment Agency is the responsible risk management authority for Main Rivers. If you are unsure of who to report to, report to both.
