Rivers: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many formal Section 25 Enforcement Notices requiring riparian owners to complete specific maintenance works have been issued by the Environment Agency in Huntingdon constituency.
Answered by Emma Hardy
Since 2024, the Environment Agency has not issued any Enforcement Notices under Schedule 25, Paragraph 8 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 to riparian owners in Huntingdonshire.
Flood risk concerns have been addressed through direct site visits and the provision of advice and guidance, with all riparian owners visited complying fully with the requested maintenance actions.
