Through Annex 7 of the public realm annual plan, BBLP support the Council in its role as a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA).

The Yazor Brook Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS) was delivered to reduce
the risks of flooding within the city of Hereford to public infrastructure and
public and private properties within the existing Yazor/Widemarsh Brooks
floodplains. The Yazor Brook FAS was completed in 2012 but shortly after it became operational damage occurred at the outfall of the scheme to the
River Wye bank during periods of heavy rainfall and floods that occurred.
Permission was given by Natural England for the temporary repair of the
Wye bank and this was put in place immediately following the heavy
rainfall and an appraisal of alternative permanent designs for the outfall
area damaged by flooding commenced.

A series of consultations with relevant stakeholders has taken place over
subsequent years and this decision will enable further works to confirm a
preferred option to be taken forward for detailed design and delivery.
