The Scottish Flood Forum is aware there is a good deal of concern regarding protecting properties from flooding.

Paul Hendy of SFF commented,

My continued stance is each home owner has responsibility to protect their property and this is not necessarily the responsibility of the respective Council. In order to promote flood protection products and to let residents see them for themselves I have arranged a number of Flood Barrier Awareness Days to be held in various communities across Scotland.

Details of the Cupar event organised by Paul are below. The Scottish Flood Forum website also has details of other dates in Broxburn and Milnathort if you find you cannot make this one.

Date
Wed 30th Sept 2009

Time
3 – 7pm

Venue
The Cafe – County Buildings, St Catherine Street, Cupar, KY15 4TB

Event Description
The display and demonstration will be done by Rob Turner – who is an independent specialist in flood products. He does not work for any FD company but offers independent impartial advice on what is most suitable and affordable in respective properties.

Following the demonstration he will then arrange a no obligation and free of charge site survey / visit to any one who would like him to look at their properties.

The estimate will then be sent, but no follow up calls, or visits will be done. – Rob has many years in the building trade, and has extensive knowledge and understanding of the problems associated with protecting property.

It is anticipated once we know how many products are required the keenest prices will be negotiated to ensure that savings will be passed on to clients.
