The council say they will ONLY provide sandbags for care homes and hospitals, businesses providind a life saving service and properties at risk of serious flooding.

They will NOT provide sandbags for commercial properties, businesses that don't have a lifesaving service, sheds, garages, gardens and outbuildings.

They warn that delivery could take serveral hours and they will provide between 10 and 15 bags for doorways.

The most urgent requests will be dealt with first and sandbags are not guaranteed.

Once delivered, it's up to the person delivered to to dispose of them correctly.
