Phase 1 is ongoing and will produce by 2023 a principles document with case studies, and a summary of existing policies involving community maintenance.
Phase 2 will then focus on 1) Guidance for community groups outlining maintenance activities for specific flood risk management assets, supporting the principles document, good practice, and the policy context; and 2) Guidance for Risk Management Authorities on facilitating and enabling community groups to undertake maintenance (on a voluntary basis).
