Friends of the Corve and Teme 

Ludlow's flood action and river environment group
 

FCT: Friends of the Corve and Teme

Friends of the Corve and Teme (FCT) was founded in June 2016 to

  • Work in partnership with local agencies and landowners to investigate ideas and implement actions which could prevent or reduce flooding of land and properties in and around Ludlow
  • Work with other groups, agencies and landowners to preserve, maintain and improve local waterways, riverbanks and habitats.

This Community Flood Action and River Environment Group, set up as an Unincorporated Association, will

  • monitor local rivers and develop and implement a Flood Action Plan (Preparation, Prevention, Action and Recovery)
  • collect data about the catchment to enable more effective action by individuals, local authorities, responsible agencies, landowners and companies
  • create partnerships with national, local, civil and environmental bodies
  • use local knowledge to implement actions to reduce the risk of flooding in and around Ludlow. This includes attempting to ensure that new development applications meet or improve upon SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System  specifications
  • educate the local community about flood and pollution risk in Ludlow and its environs and publicise ways to improve resilience
  • work closely with all interested parties to preserve the waterways and natural habitat.
