Preparing for flooding
Climate change is likely to lead to an increase in flooding incidents in the future. If severe rain across the region is experienced, flooding in parts of Trafford may be experienced.
Drainage teams will be working to try and clear as much surface water as possible, however it is important that property owners and residents take the appropriate measures to protect their own property.
We do not provide sandbags to properties at risk from flooding.
