The Waveney, Lower Yare, and Lothingland Internal Drainage Board Order 2006

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the abolition, on a date one month after the confirmation of this Order, of the Blundeston Flixton & Oulton Drainage Board, the Burgh Castle Bradwell Gorleston Southtown & Cobholm Island Drainage Board, the Langley Chedgrave & Toft Monks Drainage Board, the Oulton Carlton Colville & Barnby Drainage Board, the Limpenhoe & Reedham Internal Drainage Board, the Lothingland Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Waveney Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Waveney Second Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Waveney Third Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Yare Second Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Yare Third Internal Drainage Board and the Waveney Valley Internal Drainage Board.

A new board, known as “the Waveney, Lower Yare, and Lothingland Internal Drainage Board” replaces these boards. The twelve former drainage districts are amalgamated to form the corresponding new internal drainage district.

A map of the twelve internal drainage districts amalgamated by virtue of the Scheme is available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the Environment Agency at Kingfisher House, Goldhay Way, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough PE2 5ZR and Cobham Road, Ipswich, Suffolk IP3 9JE.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
