FRC cooperates with MARE and SKINT projects to promote best practices
1 June 2010
An alliance between English partners of FRC and other INTERREG projects brings local authorities and other key players together to promote best practices and create regional and national legacies
During a period of significant change for flood risk management in England, the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and the University of Sheffield are working with the English partners of the North Sea INTERREG projects MARE and SKINT to form Learning and Action Alliances in the Yorkshire and Humber Region. The alliances bring local authorities and other key players together to promote best practice as a result of sharing knowledge and experience. Initiated by members of the three INTERREG projects, the regional alliance now has its own organising committee and over one hundred and thirty people have attended at least one of the four meetings and workshops that have been held since the end of January 2009.
The regional membership provides a means of sharing the lessons from FloodResilienCity and the members of the alliance have also been able to help identify needs and shape the way in which output will be disseminated. It will also help sustain the long term legacy of FRC and the other projects.
The efforts at a regional level have not gone unnoticed and members of the Yorkshire and Humber alliance are helping to form a community for flood risk and water management (FlowNet (England and Wales)). This venture, hosted on the Local Government Association’s IDeA website , will provide a national umbrella to facilitate the formation of a network of regional alliances.
