I am writing to make an open government request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would like answers to the question below: 1) Do you have a dedicated annual budget for flood remediation? If so, please state it in pounds. 2) What was your annual dedicated budget for flood remediation last year? Please state your answer in pounds. 3) In the last ten years, how many floods have you had from surface water/fluvial flooding? (Surface water/fluvial flooding is defined as “flooding that occurs when the volume and intensity of rainfall overwhelms local drainage systems.”; a flood is defined as “any case where land not normally covered by water becomes covered by water”) 4) What was the cost to the council of the repairs and cleanup of your most recent flood (as per the definition above)? 5) Which of the following have you planned to invest in to remediate floods? Please select all that apply. a. Options: i. Installing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) ii. Require all news builds/developments to include SuDS iii. Increasing drainage maintenance iv. Enhance green spaces to improve drainage and act as a natural buffer v. Plant trees to help absorb excess rainwater vi. Engage with home/land owners to reduce paved space 6) Have any of the floods your council has experienced in the last ten years resulted in “sewer flooding”, where sewers become overwhelmed? If it’s easier, I am more than happy to receive this data in an Excel spreadsheet or whichever format best suits you. If answering the above questions is not possible, could you please advise as to what relevant information would be attainable, or where the information might already exist in the public domain? If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could advise me as to what relevant information is attainable and what steps I need to take to receive it?
