Issue - meetings

The report outlined the direction of the Medway Flood Action Plan launched by the Medway Flood Partnership on 1 December 2017.  The Plan addressed flood risk in the Medway catchment, focusing on three work streams led by partner organisations in respect of capital investment and maintenance, community resilience and natural flood management.

The Advisory Board was updated on the timescale of the project to increase the capacity of the Leigh Flood Storage Area, due for completion in 2023.  Members considered that it would be useful for representatives of the Environment Agency and Internal Drainage Boards to attend a future meeting.
