Concern over lack of clarity in flood protection measures
Boston Target
|July 09, 2025
A CONCERNED councillor is not satisfied that leaders are acting urgently enough to implement flood protection measures.
The storm impact working group was established by Lincolnshire County Council following the damage caused by Storm Babet in October 2023 and Storm Henk in January 2024.
The group put together a series of 12 recommendations to prevent the risk of flooding in Lincolnshire but Coun Ian Carrington (Conservative) told councillors at the environment scrutiny meeting on Friday, June 27 that he has not been given assurances that these measures will be fully implemented.
The recommendations included the need for local plans for the communities affected, improved guidance for homeowners in high-risk areas and a commitment to protect wildlife.
Coun Carrington said: “It was a series of important recommendations. They were designed with urgency in mind and to try to reduce the level of flooding and flood risks for residents.
