LC 00166

Specific outcomes

• The biggest outcome are the lessons learnt because now the pilot project is replicable, it can be done somewhere else anytime.
• Get the water butts ready for installation after overcoming all the struggles related to the tendering process and the liability of the contracts.

Process results:

• The website http://bluepages.org.uk/,  is a directory where companie s advertise their products, is being redesigned right now. It belongs to the National Flood Forum. At the moment, only flood protection products such as barriers for the house are listed. The purpose is to make the whole concept of flood protection products much wider to include grey water system, permeable paving, leaky water butts, etc. Students are redesigning the website and changing the message of flood protection: we all are dealing with water; we all’ve got a role to play, what is my role? Well my role is to slow the water down; someone else’s role is to stop the water coming into the house.
• Create a potential local flood group in Great Yarmouth area because there is none at the moment.
• Manufacturers for supply and installation of water butts see the possibilities of this business to continue mitigating flood risk in other local authorities.
