What is in the SRA Annual Report 2021-22

The report covers activities funded by Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) between the start of April 2021 and the end of March 2022.

Over these 12 months, the SRA spent £2.831 million on extra flood protection and resilience works across Somerset.

Of that total, over half came from council tax raised solely for the SRA by Somerset County Council, Mendip District Council, Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset West and Taunton Council and South Somerset District Council, plus contributions from the Axe Brue and Parrett Internal Drainage Boards. The rest consisted of the final portion of Growth Deal funding that was allocated to Somerset flooding projects back in 2014 via the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership.

Dozens of places benefitted from activities designed to protect people, properties, businesses and roads, while also enhancing local environments.

Everybody in Somerset is affected directly or indirectly by issues with flooding, so the SRA invests in a wide range of actions countywide to reduce flood risks, and increase local resilience when floods do occur. All works are additional to those carried out by other Flood Risk Management Authorities in Somerset.

Two versions of the SRA Annual Report

The full-length 52-page version of the annual report gives lots of details about SRA activities. It is helpful for exploring what has been done at a very local level, right down to single fields and ponds and ditches. It includes around 80 photographs and illustrations.

The shorter 8-page version is more selective, but still informative and visual.
