Assets that manage flood risk in North Lincolnshire
Lead local flood authorities are required, under Section 21 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, to establish and maintain:
- a register of structures or features which, in the opinion of the authority, are likely to have a significant effect on a flood risk in its area, and
- a record of information about each of those structures or features, including information about ownership and state of repair.
The asset register shows structures (such as pumping stations, flood defence banks, weirs, sluices and grills) currently being used to manage flood risk and drainage across the council, along with the relevant flood risk management authority.
