COUNCIL SUPPORTS COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY WET WEATHER Following substantial rainfall over recent weeks, Sheffield Council is continuing to work closely with those in the worst affected areas. As well as offering financial support to affected residents and businesses, clean-up efforts in the rivers and brooks have been ongoing, with the council working alongside the Environment Agency and other key partners. Divers have also been busy clearing debris

that has collected around bridges and culverts, ensuring that rivers continue to flow and cranes have been brought in to remove large trees that have been washed into waterways. Whilst the 64mm of heavy rain brought travel disruption to many areas of the city, it was thanks to the council’s hard-working contractors, partners, community volunteers and investment in new flood defences that very few properties

were flooded during this spate of bad weather. The significant investment in flood defences by the council protected the city and its residents and although the amount of rainfall was substantial, the defences coped well, over-topping only slightly. The council will suspend council tax for the affected properties for a period of three months to allow residents to get back on their

feet. In addition the council will provide £500 to those whose houses have been affected by flooding and the charity organisation, South Yorkshire Community Fund (SYCF) will be providing £100 compensation to affected residents. Sheffield City Council has made a donation to SYCF and if people would like to support affected residents, all further donations should be sent to them. They will ensured that
