Under the Flood and Water Act (2010), Lead Local Flood Authorities have a responsibility to develop a local flood risk management strategy for their area.
This strategy is consistent with the National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Strategy for England from the Environment Agency.
Staffordshire and the Black Country (covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton) have different local flood risk management strategies.
The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Staffordshire has been developed by Staffordshire County Council, the Lead Local Flood Authority for the area.
You can find the full and summarised strategy for Staffordshire in the link below.
The Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the Black Country has been jointly developed by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, and the City of Wolverhampton Council, the Lead Local Flood Authorities for their areas.
