Please find attached a factsheet from the Environment Agency.

This has been sent to all parish and town councils in our Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Area.

The factsheet highlights the types of maintenance work we carry out on flood defences and why. It also includes information on riparian ownership and understanding flood risk.

We hope that this information will be useful in answering questions from residents and councillors, especially given the recent high river levels we have experienced.

Please do share this with your council and community as you see fit and get in touch if you have questions. We will do our best to support and advise you.
