Rural UK Residents on Flood Resilience for The Guardian

Persistent rain and repeated flooding are testing the resilience of rural communities across the UK, impacting daily life, work, and people’s livelihoods. The Guardian is investigating how rural communities are coping with more frequent extreme weather events such as floods and storms, focusing on infrastructure challenges, community resilience, and preparedness for climate change impacts. We would like to hear from people living in rural areas about how resilient your community feels to climate change. Have flood defences been strengthened? Are roads repeatedly flooded? Are businesses struggling because of unreliable infrastructure? How is it impacting your work and livelihood? Do you feel enough is being done to prepare for more frequent extreme weather?
