Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the abolition, on a date one month after the confirmation of this Order, of the North Level Internal Drainage Board and the Westside Marshes Internal Drainage Board.

A new board, known as “the North Level District Internal Drainage Board” replaces these boards. The two former drainage districts are amalgamated to form the corresponding new internal drainage district.

A map of the two internal drainage districts amalgamated by virtue of the Scheme is available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the Environment Agency at Kingfisher House, Goldhay Way, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire PE2 5ZR and Waterside House, Waterside North, Lincoln, Lincolnshire LN2 5HA.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
