Money spent on flood defences across Tendring

Tendring District Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Tendring District Council,

I would like to know how much has been spent on flood defences over the last 5 years. In addition, I would also like to find out how much the council has spent repairing flood damages.

Yours faithfully,

Lauren Dowell

Claire Bryant, Tendring District Council

Dear Lauren

Tendring District Council does not have any responsibility for flood defences. Coastal Flooding is the responsibility of the Environment Agency and Surface water flooding is the responsibility of the Lead Local Flood Authority (Essex County Council). TDC is only responsible for coastal erosion.

I hope this information is of assistance to you. However, if you feel that the Council have failed to deal with your request for information correctly, you can request that the matter is reviewed in accordance with the Authority’s Complaints Procedure. Details of this procedure can be obtained from all Council offices or our website (www.tendringdc.gov.uk ).

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

FOI Compliance Team (complaints), Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
