Flood Protection - Update
January 2010
|
The East Riding Flood Protection and Resilience Board continues to meet regularly to bring together various agencies responsible for flood protection.
Cllr Carole Lynn, who is a member of this board, said "the Council has employed more drainage engineers to look at issues such as riparian ownership to ensure that ditches are maintained and that there is a stock of sandbags at Hedon.
Meanwhile the Environment Agency has been working on improvements to the Burstwick Drain and the government is consulting on its draft Flood Water Management Bill. Much has been done or is being done - but we are all very conscious of just how much more there is to do." |
