Flood risk label will devalue headford homes council meeting warned

A CLUSTER of homes in Headford will plummet in value and face insurance hikes because they are now deemed to be in a flood risk area, it has been claimed.
The seven houses in Deerpark are highlighted as being in a flood risk area in the draft Headford area plan. However, this has outraged some councillors who argue that there is no local knowledge of any flooding there, even during the big floods of 2009.
