Residents say the £293,000 Environment Agency scheme is giving them peace of mind

Protection measures are being installed at homes in a village at risk of flooding.

The agency said the village had been flooded four times in the last 15 years, when a brook had broken its banks causing damage to properties.Measures include fitting flood doors and barriers, non-return valves, self-closing air bricks and pumps, which help to reduce the risk of water entering people's homes.

"We hope the measures will help to give the community some reassurance by ensuring a flood does less damage and life can get back to normal much quicker."
