Organised by local vicar and campaigner Paul Cawthorne, the Hadnall Village Flooding and Sewage Meeting will take place next Wednesday (January 15) at 7pm inside the village hall.
It will aim to highlight concerns about the village’s flood plain, the capacity of existing infrastructure, and concerns for potential further housing development before upgrades to sewage and flood prevention systems are completed.
Mr Cawthorne said Hadnall has been prone to periodic flooding after heavy rainfall and shared pictures of gardens submerged by water.
In October, residents faced struggles due to flooding, and only large vehicles such as tractors could go in and out of the village.
"I am very much looking forward to it and there is already a lot of interest in the meeting and wider area," said Mr Cawthorne.
"It has been an issue for a while but the new houses that have been built seem to have made it worse.
