Organisation

With our short line of command, local knowledge and extensive experience we are at the forefront of practical action to deliver maintenance and improvement projects in the catchments we control, whilst protecting and enhancing the environment.

We are able to draw on the local knowledge and experience of our Board Members who give their time freely to serve you; reducing flood risk to housing, business, infrastructure and beautiful wild places. Our Board members’ interest in maintaining an effective drainage system and close proximity to the primary water level control structures is vitally important, if we are to continue to deliver and provide a cost effective service on the ground today and in the future.

Management Structure

As an ‘Associated*’ Board, we have access to the WMA group’s administration, technical support staff and workforce.

* The board remains an independent organisation with its own governance and decision-making powers, but chooses to receive administrative and technical services from the WMA under an agreed arrangement. The board is therefore “Associated” with the WMA for the delivery of services, rather than being a full “Member Board”.

Delivering an effective local service

The Board’s administrative and technical support staff operate from Vale House, Stewartby, Bedfordshire.
