Policy
The Hundred of Wisbech Internal Drainage Board (IDB) joined the Water Management Alliance as an ‘Associated Board’* on 1st April 2026.
Policies and procedure documents relating to the Boards activities are currently being updated and will be published here at www.wlma.org.uk as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you have any specific document requests please email info@wlma.org.uk.
Thank you for your patience while we administer the transfer of the board’s documents.
* 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”.
