Agency staff will also to be deployed at Glasson Dock on Thursday. They will call at properties in the flood warning area if the gate cannot be closed, letting people know where sandbags are and giving flood resilience advice. If the winch test work is a success, agency staff will not visit homes.The letter adds: "The winch will remain in place until the gate is repaired and can be operated as normal.
