VIDEO: New emergency flood barrier tested in Stratford

Stratford's emergency flood defences were tested on Waterside this week as part of an Environment Agency Exercise.

Tuesday saw the agency put up its new temporary flood barrier, named Nero, for the first time in Stratford and showcased its drone technology, used to assess flooding situations.
