John Curtin visits Partnership Workshop

Our Chair met John Curtin at Flood and Coast 2019 where Janet invited him to meet some of the dynamic people in our Catchment. The workshop at Lancaster Town Hall was based on Partnership working had a large audience of people from varied backgrounds including those that work on the ground in a crisis, the Lead Local Flood Authorities, Council and community groups. Janet introduced the workshop by outlining some of Lune Valley Flood Forums most successful Partnership working over the last 12 months. Four tables were set up to discuss themes from Education, Resilience, Environment and Community. LVFF  now have new and existing partnerships to follow up on over the next few weeks. John spoke on climate and how engineering is not the total solution to flooding and climate issues we  can now  use a mix of methods. We thank John for attending and hope we can maintain a positive relationship with his office.
