The Suffolk Flood Risk Management Partnership (SFRMP) is responsible for co-ordinating the implementation of any actions required as a result of the Floods and Water Management Act 2010 and the Flood Risk Regulations 2009.
Sustainable Drainage
A short film has been produced by Stroud District Council on rural sustainable drainage and natural flood management which is well worth viewing. View Here.
Flood Investigations
Under Section 19 of the Flood & Water Management Act 2010, the County Council must investigate significant flooding to identify which risk management authorities have relevant flood risk management functions, and whether each of those authorities has exercised, or is proposing to exercise, those functions in response to the flood. The need to investigate a particular flood is determined on a case-by-case basis considering factors such as the likely source of the flood and the number of properties affected.
