Backwell Parish Council is working hard to ensure our village remains safe and prepared for the future. One of the growing issues we’re tackling is surface water flooding, particularly from rainfall running off Backwell Hill. To address this properly, we need your help. Although official records list only one flooding incident on Farleigh Road since 2012, we believe this doesn’t reflect the true picture. We understand that several properties may have been affected over the years, and it’s vital that these incidents are recognised so we can take the right action. Have you experienced flooding at your property on Farleigh Road? If so, please take a few minutes to complete our quick Flood Report Survey. Your response will help us: Accurately record flooding incidents Strengthen our case for future improvement works Better protect homes and residents across the village 👉 [Click here to complete the survey]

This includes a proposal for another 1,000 houses on a vast area of East Backwell (EB), across land stretching from the Leisure Centre to The George, along with a new road linking the A370 to Station Road opposite Backwell Lake.
