This is your opportunity to comment on our proposals for managing flood risk in Warrington.  Your input is important to ensure that we can consider your options when producing the final strategy.

Events:

Everybody is invited to come along to our drop in exhibition, where you can pick up a copy of the summary document and our draft strategy, ask questions and discuss the recommendations with members of the projectExhibitions will be held from 9am to 5pm on:

Friday 12 and Saturday 13 February – Golden Square Shopping Centre, Warrington

We are attending a number of neighbourhood events.  If you are aware of community events or would like us to come and talk to your local group.  Please contact Ben Lukey on 01925 251822 or e-mail address below.

How to respond

This is a draft strategy and no final decisions have been made.  We want to hear from you to help us to identify anything we may have missed in the preparation of this draft strategy.  Please share with us your views of our recommended management options and any concerns you may have regarding strategy funding and implementation by 08 March 2010.

You can:

• Read and respond to the consultation online

Or email us your comments:

• Warrington Strategy Project Team

Or alternatively, post your views to:

Environment Agency, Appleton House, 430 Birchwood Boulevard, Birchwood, Warrington, WA3 7WD

What happens next

We will consider all of the responses as well as technical, environmental and financial factors before making our final strategy recommendations later in 2010.  Your comments will help define the construction, improvement or maintenance works that are required within the next five years in Warrington, and inform the overall 100 year coastal flood and erosion risk management strategy.

Unfortunately we will be unable to respond individually.  However, we will provide general feedback on this webpage.
