We are engaged in a range of actions to make it easier for farmers and landowners who wish to undertake their own de-silting and channel maintenance activities. We also very much welcome the establishment of IDBs where these are proposed and supported by the local community.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We recognise the challenges associated with raising funds for flood risk locally, including for the establishment of new IDBs, and are continuing to explore options in this area together with the Department for Communities and Local Government</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 17/12/2014 17:08:01 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
