Hertfordshire County Council has been appointed Under Section 19 of the Flood Water Management Act 2010 as the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) for Hertfordshire has the role of managing flood risk from surface water and groundwater. The Hertfordshire Local Flood Risk Management Strategy is available online at the following web page If you care to browse the document, and from our layperson's understanding of the document, there is a prioritisation matrix on Page 29 that sets out the six criteria by which Hertfordshire will initially rank flooding issues.
From a laypersons point of view it's not obvious Green Street will score well in all of the criteria above. No buildings directly involved. Probably no funding in place. Deprivation limited, although loss of bus will be impacting lower income groups. It's therefore important that as many residents contact Flood Water management at Hertfordshire County Council Email them: If you prefer, you can call: Andy Hardstaff Flood and Water Management Officer 01992 556470 Or you can write: Andy Hardstaff Flood and Water Management Officer Hertfordshire County Council County Hall Hertford SG13 8DN We understand from a document made available to us by our County Councillor that this process is underway [see Outline of Investigation into flooding on Green Street], but is likely to take up to 16 weeks, and that is just for a report to be produced, not for any action to be taken. The community can help by targeting four of the stated criteria above
