AN exhibition will allow Hambleton residents to see how local authorities plan to tackle flooding.

A study of the problems that have hit key areas throughout the district, including Brompton, Northallerton town centre and Romanby, has been carried out and a number of solutions proposed.

North Yorkshire County Council has worked in partnership with Hambleton District Council and Yorkshire Water to publicise the flooding study work that has recently been carried out.

Residents will have the chance to view and comment on the study that took place and the proposals and options for future actions.

Mike Moore, the council's director of environmental services, said: "Everyone living in the Hambleton area is well aware of the destructive flooding which took place in 2000, and again this year.

"Working with the district council and Yorkshire Water we have been able to identify some schemes which we believe could be put in place quickly and would go some way towards easing the flooding problems."

The exhibition will be at Brompton village hall today and at Northallerton Cricket Club, in Romanby, tomorrow, both from 3pm until 8pm
