Flooding

Flooding issues are dealt with by multiple agencies, including the Environment Agency, United Utilities and Lancashire County Council (LCC). LCC has duties as the lead flood authority. 

If there is an immediate risk to life because of flooding, then you should call 999.

If flood water is entering your house, or is halfway across the road then please contact LCC using the numbers below:

  • Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays) 0300 123 6780
  • out of office hours: 101 (local Police non-emergency number).
