The village of Bilbrook gets its name from the ancient ‘Billers’, meaning watercress, which grows in its Moat Brook. The area therefore has a strong relationship with its surrounding watercourses as well as a history of repeated surface water flooding, most notably in 2020. FAIR has engaged with residents, through the National Flood Forum, to investigate surface water problems and work in partnership with other Risk Management Authorities to alleviate these. This community page displays monitoring from sensors installed by FAIR, as well as more information about how National Flood Forum have engaged with the community.
