Flooding Information Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for collecting sandbags once flooding recedes?
Where the Council provides sandbags, they become the responsibility of the person or Parish Council receiving them. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead cannot accept responsibility for putting the bags in place or for collecting them after the flooding recedes. There is no statutory obligation on the Council to provide sandbags or other forms of flood defence; however, we will try our best to provide them where they are most needed, particularly for elderly residents, where resources and access permit.
