19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

Just to be clear, the same council that told you to move your car is giving you a parking fine.

How would you like that to change? If you were in charge, how would you organise this?

That would certainly be very welcome. It certainly speaks to what the residents were telling us: that they are ready for that engagement, but they feel that no one is listening. What they really want to know, Ms Foley, is how well you, as agencies and authorities, collaborate with each other in practice to deliver floo

They are very helpful. I hope that they are not a lucky few examples or the exception that proves the rule. We received a lot of written evidence for this inquiry that repeated the first half of your message. There are strategic requirements and duties on different agencies and bodies to collaborate and work together,

Do you recognise the relationship there? Well-maintained assets could be a really cheap preventative piece, instead of allowing things to fail.

That is a very helpful recommendation.

That is really helpful. Water knows no boundaries, but apparently if it is groundwater it is somebody’s problem, and if it is river water it is somebody else’s. Do you recognise that having different agencies responsible for different types of water is incredibly frustrating for residents?

Do you feel that the Environment Agency takes responsibility in those scenarios?

12
19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

Who do you think is responsible in that scenario? You are an expert in this room. If that were to happen again today, to me, who would you advise me to contact? Who is responsible in that scenario?

When will the review conclude?

19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

I have a small follow-up on your remarks about the resilience measures and the fact that you are feeding into the review at the moment. We have some examples in Shrewsbury, where residents applied for a grant and got planning permission for flood doors, but they have to go through the framework of contractors, so they

Thank you. That is really helpful.

We heard in a previous panel, on another day, about other types of impact, such as social impacts. You might have a village with one shop or one school, and that whole village then becomes isolated through lack of access to public transport. Do you think that that is another criterion?

51
19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

It has taken you a long time to answer that question. You can understand people’s frustration. Even you took a long time to get to the bottom of who is responsible, who we should contact and who does what, because it is incredibly complicated. That is what residents are telling us every day. We need to tidy that up. My

There is water in my home. There is some coming from a drain and there is some coming from the river next to my home. Who do I call first?

30
19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

I know. I am asking you, as the expert, whether I should call the Environment Agency the next time that happens. Who should I contact?

25
19 May 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

My question is who is responsible.
