Freedom of information response
People Living in areas prone to flooding
Under Freedom of Information Act/Environmental Information Regulations, I would like to request the following information.
For the area for which you are the Lead Local Flood Management Authority under the Flood and Water Management Act (2010) --
- Total number of people living at risk of flooding (any level of risk)
- Total number of people exposed to frequent flooding (1:75 years or above)
- Total number living in EA-designated flood zone 3
Information with respect to the Council’s Flood Risk Strategy can be found on the Council’s website https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/flood-risks/flood-risk-management
However, the Council does not have up to date figures for each of the questions raised.
Nonetheless, this has been undertaken by the Environment Agency as part of the Thames Estuary 2100 work and it is advised that the requester seeks this information from the Environment Agency.
