Environment Agency Back Down in Face of BVT Legal Action and Local Outrage

 Bournville Village Trust has just posted this on their Facebook page 

Update on Bourn flood risk management: Today we’ve met with the Environment Agency to discuss the notice that was served for exploratory works planned at Weoley Park, Manor Park and Valley Parkway in Birmingham, on 23rd May. The EA have told us that following a review, and our legal challenge, these works have now been paused and won’t take place this week. The EA are working on a new plan for consultation and engagement with residents and local organisations/groups, and as a result no works will take place until further notice. We’re working on updating the FAQs and info on our website and this will be live shortly.
