Billing Aquadrome urges people to leave their homes and return to their residential addresses "immediately".

Its a shame for the residents, as Billing are fully aware that people live there permanently, and charge accordingly until it goes wrong at which point they ask them to "return to their residential addresses" which is more a paper pushing exercise which covers them against this sort of issue, which is happening more and more. Obviously residents know the risks but they should really look to invest in flood defences for their site, or at least flood mitigation measures. It would be interesting to know whether the management or council foot the bill for emergency accommodation.

I belong to a couple of car clubs that used to hold rallies at billing.....they ended up being mucked about so much by billing management that they told them where to shove it and found new sites.....Billing do seem to think they can do as they please and seem to forget customers can move on
