Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Request for Review of Flood Zones in Breinton Parish
I am writing on behalf of the Breinton Parish Council to formally request a review of the flood zones affecting our parish. We have observed increasing instances of flooding in recent years, which have raised concerns among our residents regarding safety and property damage.
Breinton Parish encompasses areas with sensitive hydrology, and we believe that the current flood zone designations may not accurately reflect the evolving environmental conditions. With recent weather patterns and the impact of climate change, the flood risk assessment must be updated to ensure the safety and resilience of our community.
We would appreciate your support in conducting a thorough review of the flood zones, taking into account local hydrological studies and community feedback. We believe that this review will not only help mitigate future flooding but also enhance the overall management of water resources in our area.
Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to your prompt response and are eager to engage in further discussions on this important matter.
Yours sincerely,
Lisa Law
Clerk,
Breinton Parish Council.
