Changes to 2015 Local Flood Risk Strategy

Flooding has had a significant impact on local communities and businesses in Leicestershire. Climate change is predicted to increase the risk of local flooding and the impacts will be felt more widely.

LCC have to produce and maintain a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Leicestershire. In 2015, the first Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Leicestershire was published. The Strategy was developed to understand and manage local flood risk within the county, by creating better knowledge of our risks, better co-operation between organisations involved in flood risk management and better communication with the public.

An update to the 2015 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy was required and LCC are now seeking the opinions of residents and businesses as to the proposed changes.

Now you can have your say on the proposed changes to the Strategy as well as an opportunity to provide observations about any history of flooding, both in your property and locally in Leicestershire.
