​Our December AGM Reports were followed by Speakers Rod Everett who has worked on Natural Flood Management techniques for many years on his farm in Roeburndale. Also Louisa Blundell from Lune Rivers Trust who is working with NFM above Caton Road to try and alleviate some of the surface water flooding issues in that area.

Our meeting with Susan Parsonage Chief Executive of Lancaster City Council was exceptionally positive. It was agreed that a presence from the planning department should be at LVFF meetings where possible. Additionally it was discussed that LVFF was to be put forward as a possible member of the Cabinet Liaison Committee. Susan was keen to support LVFF where she could in the future.
