NSC Local Flood Risk Management Strategy

North Somerset Council is updating its Local Flood Fisk Management Strategy (LFRMS) and would like your views.

North Somerset Council (NSC) states that it is

"... updating our Local Flood Fisk Management Strategy (LFRMS) and would like your views. Please read the strategy and let us know your views using this accessible online questionnaire before noon on 6 April 2023. If you need materials in a different format, contact the Flood Risk team by email at floodrisk@n-somerset.gov.uk.

 

The strategy sets out our objectives and actions to make your community more resilient to surface water flooding (sometimes known as flash flooding) and groundwater flooding. Parts of the strategy also cover broader flood risks, such as flooding from the sea and large rivers.

 

The objectives of the strategy are:

 

a flood resilient North Somerset, today’s growth and infrastructure in North Somerset being resilient in tomorrow’s climate, North Somerset ready to respond and adapt to flooding. Over the last 8 years, North Somerset Council has received external funding and invested £3.2million in large schemes to reduce surface water flood risk, in Wrington, and Summer Lane, Weston-super-Mare.

 

We spend more than £1million each year to maintain road drainage and flood defences, and we are starting to use new techniques such as natural flood management and property level flood resilience."
