Synopsis: |
Around 469,000 households and businesses in England are at risk of flooding, with this figure likely to rise in the next century due to factors such as climate change. The Environment Agency is responsible for managing the risk from main rivers and the sea in England and Wales."Building and Maintaining River and Coastal Flood Defences in England (HC 528)" looks at the maintenance of 24,000 miles of flood defences and the construction of new defences by the Environment Agency. It notes the progress made since the last report in 2001 ('Inland Flood Defence (HC 299)' - ISBN 0102857016, available below) and sets out the areas where there is room for further improvement. |
