The areas referred to do not form part of any drainage scheme for which the Commissioners of Public Works have responsibility.
I recently announced that the Commissioners would work with Local Authorities to try to address flooding that has resulted in damage to homes or other premises, including farming enterprises, subject to certain criteria. Any approach for works in these areas that would meet these criteria would be considered.
