This briefing paper (published November 2024) provides an overview of flood and coastal risk management in the UK, including which bodies manage risk, current policy on flood risk management, and how flood funding works [or not].
The partnership funding concept was introduced in 2011 but has failed locally. River Thames Scheme Channel One was removed from the River Thames Scheme project in 2020 simply because RBWM failed to commit sufficient funds to the project.
History is on the verge of repeating itself because RBWM will not commit funds to the DHEFIM project.
