Cape Hill
Cape Hill is an area of Smethwick, within the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell. The hilly urban landscape has limited infiltration areas, resulting in surface water flood risks to some areas.
During periods of heavy rainfall, surface water can accumulate rapidly and affect highways and properties in the urbanised area of Cape Hill. FAIR has engaged with local residents and other agencies to reduce flood risks and make the community more resilient. This community page displays real-time monitoring information from sensors installed by FAIR, as well as useful information on how FAIR is continuing to engage with local residents to co-design effective solutions to reduce highlighted flood risks.
