On Tuesday 13th January 2026, an active community flood group was officially formed in Wantage. The group aims to bring together local residents to help improve flood awareness and resilience across the town.
The group will be able to apply to receive funding from Wantage Town Council as part of its budget for flood-related projects, with additional guidance and support provided by the Council. However, it will be primarily community-led, ensuring that residents have a direct role in shaping its activities and plans.
Wantage Town Council encourages anyone interested in joining the group to get involved. Residents can register their interest or find out more by contacting communications@wantageoldsite.nwclients.co.uk. This new effort demonstrates the town’s commitment to working collaboratively to protect its residents and strengthen community resilience.
The next meeting of the group will be on Tuesday 3rd March 2026 at the Beacon in Wantage.
