Caterham High School in Clayhall has developed a comprehensive flood management system to combat the issues caused by heavy rains. Following a significant flash flood, the school upgraded its drainage with surface and underground tanks that capture excess rainwater. This system helps drain water slowly into the sewer, allowing it to manage the overflow. Additionally, components like water butts and a rain garden support biodiversity while assisting in the flood mitigation efforts. Redbridge Council is committing substantial funds for similar initiatives across the borough to enhance resilience against climate impacts.
The scheme at Caterham High is a natural way to support the drainage infrastructure while also encouraging biodiversity.
We are investing in flood alleviation measures to help reduce the impact of flash floods.
