Neglected rivers could increase a risk of flooding

LOCAL LANDOWNERS HAVE A LEGAL DUTY TO LOOK AFTER WATERCOURSES
SOME Lincolnshire landowners are making flooding worse by 'neglecting' their rivers and streams, a councillor has claimed.
Anyone who owns land next to a watercourse has a legal duty to maintain it and stop it from becoming blocked - a concept known as 'riparian ownership'.
However, Lincolnshire County Council, which acts as the county's lead flooding authority, has no power to force this work to happen.
There are fears that poorly-maintained rivers could lead to future problems following the devastating Storm Babet and Henk, as well as widespread flooding in January 2025.
