Report flooding


Rivers, streams and coastal flooding

The flooding of rivers, streams and coastal areas is the responsibility of the Environment Agency.

Some drainage outlets are also the responsibility of the appropriate water company.

Private landowners are responsible for the drainage from their land and have a duty to ensure drainage ditches on their land are kept clear to ensure roads and pavements do not become flooded.

Report a problem 

River, stream or coastal flooding can be reported to the Environment Agency.
