I’ve put together an update on the EA’s progress so far and I intend to send an update on the third Monday of every month. Hopefully, that timescale works for you, but if you would prefer a set date, say the 20th of every month, we can work to that. I’m happy for anything in these updates to be shared with the broader community however you think is most appropriate.
Since our meeting on-site with we’ve been working with our consultant to ensure that our scope of work for an initial assessment includes everything it needs and is set out in a way that tries to deliver an initial assessment as soon as possible. A couple of examples are that we’re using some additional brought-in flood modelling expertise to help with the scheme, and we’ve also expanded our scope to include some of the options discussed in the meeting. This includes changing the alignment of the confluence of the Clay Coton and Yelvertoft brook and accounting for additional or different types of property-level flood defences. We expect to have the scope agreed in the next couple weeks, at which point the consultant will assign the resource to work. Once we have a resource confirmation from the consultant and an accompanying program for the initial assessment, we will have a more concrete timescale. Previously I have indicated this is likely to be the start of summer for completion of the IA. We’ve had nothing to suggest this is going to change, but as and when we get news on that, I will update you.
I also wanted the parish council’s thoughts on setting up a flood risk group. This would typically be an in-person meeting that representatives from the Parish Council, Environment Agency, Water Company’s and the Lead Local Flood Authority, with others, brought in as and when needed. I’ve set up similar meetings before, and they have typically helped ensure a focus on delivering something in the area. We would look to have such a meeting quarterly and ideally somewhere in Yelvertoft. If this did sound like something the parish would support, could we potentially use the same building as the Parish council used for the meeting last week?

Exhibitors from across the county will also be in attendance and on hand to discuss new and innovative crime prevention products and there will be plenty of opportunity for farmers and landowners to network with members of the Rural Action Group.
Northamptonshire Police Rural Crime Officer, PC Hutch Hutchings said: “These events offer our farmers and landowners the perfect opportunity to come and meet representatives from the Rural Action Group and discuss how they can most effectively secure their property.
“This is the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic that we have been able to arrange the rural engagement events and we’re looking forward to getting everyone together to share their experiences, and for us all to develop a greater understanding of what the current rural crime issues are.
“We would also like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Boughton House, Towcestrians Sports Club and Althorp Estate, who have kindly provided the facilities for free, enabling us to host these events free of charge.”
