Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) Board meetings in 2025
The next Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) Board meeting will be held on the morning of Friday 6 June at the offices of Somerset Council in King Square, Bridgwater (formerly Sedgemoor District Council’s headquarters). The agenda and reports for the meeting will be published here at least one week before its date.
The most recent SRA Board meeting was held on Friday 7 March at the offices of Somerset Council (formerly South Somerset District Council’s headquarters) in Brympton Way, Yeovil, BA20 2HT. Subjects included the SRA’s budget and programme of works for 2025-26, the Greater Sedgemoor Landscape Recovery Project, and an auditor’s report. Read the agenda, reports and summary of decisions for the SRA Board meeting on 7 March 2025.
Important note: the agenda for the SRA Board meeting on 7 March was published four days earlier than usual as part of moves intended to improve the process around Public Question Time (Item 6). To allow more time for sharing questions across the SRA partnership, and getting answers to questions, the deadline for requesting involvement in Public Question Time has been brought back to 12 noon on Monday 3 March 2025. The previous deadline of 5pm on the Wednesday before the meeting was felt by partners and public alike to be too limiting for satisfaction.
Members of the public who wished to speak at this meeting, or submit a petition, were asked to submit their statement or question in writing to Somerset Rivers Authority by 12 noon on Monday 3 March 2025.
The first SRA Board meeting of 2025 was held on Friday 24 January at the offices of Somerset Council (formerly Mendip District Council’s headquarters) in Cannard’s Grave Road, Shepton Mallet, BA4 5BT. Read the agenda, reports and summary of decisions for the SRA Board meeting on 24 January 2025. Subjects included the SRA’s proposed programme of works for 2025-26, the River Brue, and progress towards finishing Phase 1 of the River Sowy – King’s Sedgemoor Drain (KSD) Enhancements Scheme.
