In case of flood, there is usually a small supply of sandbags in the Village Hall carpark or the Rose and Crown carpark.  However they do tend to disintegrate after a time, so concerned householders should consider accumulating their own supply, from the Uttlesford District Council.

One of the easiest alternatives to sandbags for protecting doors etc, is a sheet of strong polythene tacked round the door with something heavy along the bottom to stop it lifting. Suggest concerned householders get a sheet of polythene in case of emergencies - it does actually work.
