Folkestone and Hythe surface water management plan
Due to a history of flooding from local sources, Folkestone and Hythe was identified as an area where a surface water management plan would be beneficial in improving our understanding of local flood risk issues.
Conclusions
The study identified a number of generic and location-specific actions to manage the risk of local flooding. The actions ranged from the implementation of maintenance regimes to improving property protection.
