Flood Risk Management

Flooding remains a key threat to communities across Wales and managing this risk through careful planning is important to minimise the risk to communities. Flood risk management planning allows Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFA's) to develop a better understanding of risk from all sources of flooding and agree priorities to manage that risk.

MTCBC's Flood risk management plan has been developed with this in mind and sets out how Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council (MTCBC) will, over the next 6 years, manage flood risk in the communities most at risk and to maximise the environmental benefit. In doing so, the Flood risk management plan takes forward the objectives and actions set out in our Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS).
