Rivers
Tuesday 28th June 2022

Asked by: Justin Madders (Labour - Ellesmere Port and Bromborough)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of legislation concerning riparian rights and responsibilities; and if he will make an assessment of the potential implications of that legislation on flood risks.

Answered by Rebecca Pow

The Government is committed to tackling flood risk and increasing the nation's resilience. We expect those responsible for all assets - including riparian landowners - to ensure ongoing maintenance and timely repairs where necessary. To support this the Government has commissioned a review of the statutory powers, roles and responsibilities in relation to assets and watercourse maintenance, including riparian landowners. It is expected to report in due course.
