Dear Mr Ford 
 
Postwick Marshes 
 
Thank you for your enquiry which was sent on 24 June.   
 
The work we have done at Postwick in recent years has been the minimum maintenance 
required which will secure the existing flood defence.  We have recently had to replace 
some lightweight sheet piling that was installed in 2008, this is because it had not 
performed satisfactorily.  This has been done under our contract with Broadland 
Environmental Services Ltd and at no additional cost to the Environment Agency. 
 
I hope that we have correctly interpreted your request.  Please see the attached notice 
for details of the permitted use of the information provided. 
 
Please see below a link to a guide of environmental rights and responsibilities to improve 
public access to environmental information and support.  This is a recently launched 
website: http://www.environmentlaw.org.uk/rte.asp?id=239  
 
If you have any special needs (i.e. dyslexia, visual or other physical impairment), we will 
be able to supply the data in an alternative format. 
 
I trust this answers your queries and if I can be of further help please do contact me. 
 
 
Yours sincerely
