A new initiative aimed at helping businesses in Shrewsbury cope with the impact of flooding has been welcomed in the town after it held its first drop-in session.
, and Shrewsbury BID are asking for businesses in Shrewsbury impacted by flooding, whether directly or indirectly, to get involved in a new Flood Action Group, which is focused on their issues.
The aim is to gather and confirm the common issues faced by large and smaller businesses before, during, and after a flooding event in the town. These points will form the basis for the agenda of a meeting with the flood risk management authorities and set the agenda for the group going forward., said: “Two drop-in sessions have been organised to allow people who work and run businesses in Shrewsbury to come along and talk about their worries and concerns around the impact of flooding.
“So many things had not been done and should have been such as when a grant is offered from central government following a flood nobody was identifying what properties in Shropshire were flooded internally and who needs the money. This is important as some businesses face ruin after a flood.” The new Flood Forum has spoken to more than 60 businesses over the past few weeks, with the aim of improving communication.The first will be 'identification of key impacts – understanding the specific ways in which flooding affects businesses'.
