Interesting future thinking from our friends and colleagues in 🇳🇱 @waterschappen, wonder what the vision would look like for Internal Drainage Boards across England's lowlands? Perhaps better defining their role as local Water Level Authorities
Vanmiddag overhandigden de waterschappen hun toekomstvisie voor het platteland aan @ministerLVVN. Ze delen plannen en reiken de hand om samen snel stappen te zetten op weg naar een landelijk gebied mét toekomstperspectief. Lees meer en bekijk de visie: unievanwaterschappen.nl/wate…

Fantastic couple of days in East Kent last week with environment officers of #internaldrainageboards from across England and the @CanalRiverTrust learning about #beavers ecology and interaction with lowland & embarked water management infrastructure. 1/2
Very grateful to our trainers and guides from @NaturalEngland, @EnvAgency, and River Stour IDB. We learnt so much & enjoyed sharing our learning & insights about benefits, challenges & mitigations for working alongside nature's engineers around our water infrastructure 2/2
Interesting point made by @ProagriLtd similar rights would be useful for Internal Drainage Boards at their pumping stations and other flood and water level management assets to utilise small scale wind solar and hydro power to offset electricity consumed in pumping
NFU President Tom Bradshaw calls for permitted development rights for farmers to build small scale wind and solar to power their local communities. He said Labour hasn’t kept promises for positive actions for farmers but done “one thing they promised they wouldn’t do”- APR
