Information from Project Groundwater:

Project Groundwater is delighted to announce that funding has been secured to deliver additional Property Flood Resilience (PFR) surveys across our 9 pilot communities.

Like before, this opportunity is open to residential properties, as well as schools and businesses located within the pilot areas. To be eligible, your property must be within one of the 9 pilot community areas, and you must either own the property or have permission from the property owner for the survey to take place. The report produced must be shared with the property owner.

Surveys will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can check if your property is located within one of our 9 pilot communities here.

Eligible properties will receive a bespoke PFR survey and report for their property, fully funded by Project Groundwater at no cost to you.

Unfortunately, the project is unable to provide any additional funding for the recommended installation of measures. However, property owners may choose to fund these works privately and share the survey report with their chosen contractor to support installation decisions.

Please sign up for your free survey here:

CCB supports rural communities in Berkshire and would appreciate your feedback to better support these communities.

Do you live or work in a rural or semi‑rural area of Berkshire? We want to hear from you!

We are gathering feedback to better understand the needs, challenges, and priorities of rural communities across the county.

We’re exploring whether a Community Development Workerr could make a meaningful difference in supporting local goals, strengthening services, and helping rural areas thrive.

To get a full picture of what’s needed, we’re hoping to collect responses from people across Berkshire’s villages and rural neighbourhoods.
🕒 The survey takes just 5 minutes, and your voice will directly influence how CCB plans future support and resources.
👉 Take part here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TD7BD6Y

Thank you for helping us build stronger, more connected rural communities across Berkshire.
