Up to 1.3 million people across 551,000 household are at risk if London floods.[1]
With at least 25 per cent of London’s properties not insured for flood damage, what is the Mayor doing to protect Londoners and the capital’s infrastructure from the impact of severe flooding?
The London Assembly Environment Committee will tomorrow examine the current flooding risks for London and possible environmental measures that could help mitigate these risks.
The guests are:
- Cassie Sutherland, Policy and Programme Manager, GLA Environment
- Alex Nickson, Wastewater Systems Strategy Manager, Thames Water
- Sarah Smith, Area Flood Risk Manager - London, Environment Agency
- Steve Iles MBE, Director of Public Realm, Croydon Council
The meeting will take place on Thursday, 10 October at 10.00am in The Chamber, City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE via webcast or on our YouTube channel.
