The Wealdstone Brook runs through this area, often underground in culverts. We can send flood
warnings if you are at risk of flooding from the Wealdstone Brook. You can find out if you are at
risk by checking www.gov.uk/flood or by contacting us on HNL-enquiries@environmentagency.gov.uk for more information.
There is a space for you to provide additional information over the page.

Other information
We record river levels and rainfall across England using a network of monitoring sites. We use
hydrological models and past flood events to predict how rivers will respond to rainfall. We asked
you about the timings of flooding to help check how our predictions match what really happened.
A picture tells a thousand words. If you have any photos you would like to share of the flooding,
please send them to FRT-HNL@environment-agency.gov.uk (remember to tell us where the
photo was taken).
If you noticed the depth of flood water, where the water came from, or any other nearby flooding
or damage, please provide details in the box below.

How we use your personal information
The Environment Agency will use the information you supply on this form to help us understand why the flooding
happened and improve our future flood warning and modelling. We may also process or release the information to
consult with other relevant bodies and government departments, carry out research and development work on
environmental issues, and to assess whether customers are satisfied with our service.
The information you provide may also be used to respond to requests for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (if the Data Protection Act allows).
We may pass the information on to our agents or representatives to do these things for us.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
