Update by Janine Rillands
Hi everyone,
We'd like to say a big warm thank you to everyone in Newcastle who braved the cold / wind / rain / sleet / snow on Wednesday to stop and talk to us about our Rainwise initiative.
It was freezing cold but we still spoke to lots of you about the things that you can do to help reduce flood risk around your home. It was great to hear many of you are already quite Rainwise in your gardens, with your water butts and planters!
Thanks for taking the time to stop and look at the model we'd borrowed from Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust and the Environment Agency too, it really helps to visualise how simple changes can make such a difference.
Our Rainwise campaign will be taking place in the NE1 area throughout February...if you see our adverts in and around town why not tweet us a pic for us to share!
We'll be looking to see if there are any opportunities for us to carry out flood risk reduction projects in the area too, working with our partners and yourselves. We'll keep you updated and involve you every step of the way.
Finally, we hope you enjoyed the chocolate hearts we were giving away on Wednesday! :)
