Trigger points are locations where, when flood or watercourse water reaches a pre-determined height, the road closure scheme is ‘triggered’ and set in motion.
There are areas where the trigger point is remote from the closure point e.g. on Nottingham Road (for Brackenhurst closure location) so we need people living near the trigger location who can liaise with the Wardens near the road closure point on the status of water levels.
Refer to the SFF CR Magazine – road closure map September 2019 for Road Closure points and huddles.
