West Yorkshire resident feels 'abandoned' by environment agency during floods | Sky News

Did you know that trees can help reduce the risk of flooding? 🌳 Trees also protect our rivers and help us fight against climate change. That’s why we’re planting hundreds of thousands of trees near rivers and streams to bring benefits to local communities and our environment. This International Day of Forests, read more about how we’re taking action: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/39-million-to-drive-innovative-tree-planting | Environment Agency

River levels remain high across the country. Plan your routes to avoid swollen rivers, and never walk or drive through flood water. Check for flooding near you: https://www.gov.uk/check-flooding | Environment Agency

Embracing new technologies is one of the ways that #TeamEA is innovating our operations, helping us to get the best results from our flood defences. We use drones to make sure we can fully survey hard to reach spaces, like this channel in Fowlea Brook. This allows us to gather more information when planning repairs and construction, and makes sure we keep our hard-working teams safe 👷‍♂️ Find more about the Fowlea Brook project: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/west-midlands/fowleabroo

We want to support responsible operators in the waste sector, who create jobs, pay taxes, manage waste in accordance with the rules and ensure the environment is protected from harm. The task we face is huge: ◾ waste criminals are costing our economy a staggering £1 billion loss every year ◾ 20% of all waste operators are thought to engage in illegal activity ◾ organised crime groups are infiltrating the waste sector attracted by financial gains, committing an estimated 35% of all waste crimes T
