#FloodAware #FloodRisk
While the #EnvironmentAgency is responsible for main #rivermanagement, #InternalDrainageBoards (#IDBs) play a key role in maintaining smaller #rivers, #drainage channels, ordinary #watercourses, and other infrastructure such as #pumpingstations and #floodrisk assets within their #catchment areas. 🌊
District and #BoroughCouncils play an important role in local #flood risk management by supporting LLFAs and
other agencies with works on minor #watercourses.
As the local #planning authority, they also play a key role in #planning and #development decisions, helping to
manage #floodrisk.
A debate needs to happen on HOW testing is funded.
