Why should I complete this survey?
As maintenance of flood defences is of key interest to members at flood risk, the more responses the EA receives that highlight the issues of flood defence maintenance NFU members face, the higher the likelihood the EA will react. Therefore, everyone who has worked with or contacted the EA about watercourse maintenance (e.g. grass cutting; tree/bush work; channel maintenance; obstruction removal; defence repair; structure maintenance; or works to improve habitat and biodiversity) should complete the online survey.
The NFU will be responding nationally but there is also the ability for regions and individuals to respond too.
What is the NFU doing?
The NFU has provided supplementary information at a national level.

For any further information or queries, please contact the NFU's flood management and access policy adviser Dr Mhari Barnes.
