SOMERSET FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT COMMON WORKS PROGRAMME 2015/16

A) Background Following its establishment on 31st January 2015, the Rivers Authority (SRA) is committed to preparing a Common Works Programme (CWP), which will be updated annually. The CWP encompass all Flood Risk Management Authorities (FRMAs) in Somerset, and covers all inland flood risk management improvement schemes and maintenance works. It sets out information on schemes being undertaken using funding available to FRMAs through their conventional spending programmes, but also includes schemes and works being delivered using additional funding made available to the SRA. It includes:  All capital schemes however funded;  The established maintenance programmes of the Environment Agency, and Internal Drainage Boards;  the Enhanced Maintenance Programme - for details, see: www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk/about-us/board-and- partners/board-meetings-and-papers/?entryid108=97700  Relevant programmes of (SCC) as Lead Local Flood Authority and Highways Authority;  District Council and Water Company schemes.

B) Purpose 1. To share information with local communities and businesses about the schemes and works being undertaken; 2. To provide a basis for co-ordinating the planning and implementation of schemes, including developing efficiencies for joint delivery, and reporting on progress.

C) Change The CWP will be updated to take account of issues that emerge during the course of the year, and may be subject to change, reflecting the ability to respond to needs and opportunities, and the availability of funding, as they arise.

D) Prioritisation The CWP seeks to focus resources in areas where there is the greatest need, and where investment will bring the greatest benefits. The type of action taken to manage flood risk and drainage will depend on the severity of the risk, including factors such as the likelihood of flooding, the level of danger it would pose, its impact, and the feasibility of implementing a scheme or works to mitigate the risk.
