<p> </p><p>All local authorities are risk management authorities under the Flood and
Water Management Act 2010. No local authorities are excluded from the definition of
a risk management authority in the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>A ‘borough council' will either be a unitary authority or a district
council. As a unitary authority it will be a ‘lead local flood authority', which in
turn makes it a ‘risk management authority' in its own right (the same applies to
county councils). Where it is not a unitary authority it is a district council, whether
known as borough council or city council, and so is also a risk management authority.</p><p>
