National Liaison Panel for England

Why we need to work we others at national level to support river basin planning

We need to work with others at a national level to support river basin planning. This includes:

  • negotiating and driving forward national measures to form part of the river basin management plans
  • providing advice.

National Liaison Panel for England

The National Liaison Panel for England has been set up to complement the River Basin District Liaison Panels, which have been established to:

  • set the strategic overview for river basin planning, and
  • agree the measures for improvement in each River Basin District.

The panel consists of around 20 members based around the key co-deliverers, that is, organisations who are responsible for carrying out actions, and others who can both represent the public and help drive changes in behaviour. The panel works on a representational system. This means the panel members are expected to represent the views of the whole of their sector and act as a two-way channel between the panel and their sector.

Meetings

Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings as observers, by appointment with the Chair. However, for health and safety reasons we need to be advised of numbers in advance. If you would like to attend please contact us.
