Flood risk management strategy

Cambridgeshire County Council (under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010) has a duty to produce a Flood Risk Management Strategy in partnership with key stakeholders involved in flood risk management.

The strategy's main focus is on flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses, such as streams and ditches. Although the risk of flooding from rivers remains the responsibility of the Environment Agency, this strategy looks at the interaction between all forms of flood risk.

The latest version of Cambridgeshire's Local Flood Risk Management Strategy was approved by the Environment and Green Infrastructure Committee in March 2022.

A summary of the progress against our strategy action plan is published below.
