Worplesdon Parish Council has limited responsibilities in terms of flooding. The Parish Council manages Wood Street Village Pond (beside the Green), and White House Lane Pond, Jacobs Well – it also owns Dollies Pond, Jacobs Well Recreation Ground and clears ditches on land for which the Parish Council is responsible. The Parish Council also assists the Principal Authorities where possible, consequently, the Head Groundsman clears a number of grilles across the Parish on behalf of the borough council in Wood Street Village and Jacobs Well.
