RESIDENTS in West Meon have been urged to put all hands to the pump when it comes to flooding.

West Meon Parish Council has put out a plea for villagers to sweep leaves and debris away from storm drains near their properties and to let them know if the drains look blocked.

This would help reduce the risk of flooding in the village, with the River Meon running high.
