In a contentious decision, Lincolnshire County Council has chosen to dissolve its dedicated flooding committee, despite expert cautions suggesting that this might be a grievous error. The committee took a crucial part in flood risk management across the county and has been deemed superfluous under recent reforms. Critics insist this decision might leave local communities exposed, particularly considering the rising frequency of extreme weather incidents. The council insists that managing flood risk will be incorporated into wider environmental strategies; however, many are sceptical.
