A STUDY under the OPW and with the support of Wexford County Council have produced Draft Flood Maps for Bunclody.

To provide an opportunity for all interested persons to view and comment on these maps, a Public Consultation Day will be held at Millrace Hotel, Bunclody, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25.

Members of the South Eastern CFRAM Study project team will be available to discuss and explain the maps to all attending on the day and to collate any local flooding information.

The Draft Flood Maps will be on display on the date stated and will also be accessible on the Study website www.southeastcframstudy.ie from that date.  Members of the public may provide observations, in person, on the Draft Flood Maps at the public consultation event and/or through the study website.

The CFRAM Programme is being undertaken by the Office of Public Works (OPW) to meet national flood policy needs and the requirements of the EU Floods Directive.

It involves a comprehensive flood risk assessment focused on 300 areas of potentially significant flood risk and the development.
