Calderdale Council does not provide sandbags to individual properties during a flood. Local suppliers may run low on stock during flood incidents, so it's important to consider other ways to protect your property.
Sandbags are often not effective because water can seep through them, and finer materials like clay can leak out. They are also not reusable, can rot in storage, and are rarely the best solution for keeping floodwater out. There are more effective, easier-to-use, and reusable alternatives available.
Flood protection products and services can be in high demand during and after severe weather. It's recommended to take measures to protect your property as soon as possible—before it's too late.
