NALC has partnered with Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) to launch a new survey designed to help parish and town councils enhance their flood resilience. The short survey will capture what information and support parish and town councils need to better plan for flooding. The results will directly shape the development of practical resources tailored to local needs, ensuring that any future resources are genuinely helpful and relevant.
Alongside ACRE, NALC are particularly keen to ensure that the voices of parish and town councils are heard so that they can provide support that addresses real on-the-ground challenges. Member council participation will help both organisations deliver meaningful action that improves community resilience.
Parish and town councils are encouraged to respond to the survey by 23:45 on 29th August 2025. To ensure a broad and representative range of input, NALC requests one response per parish or town council. This initiative supports Action 20 of the Rural Flood Resilience Partnership Action Plan, which aims to help communities plan for flooding.
