Operation Watershed Review
Since 2013 Operation Watershed Active Communities Fund has been working with Parish & Town Councils and community Groups in West Sussex around managing and reducing flood risk impacting their local community as part of their local flood resilience.
To date the grant has supported and enabled over £5.3m of community led work to be delivered locally. The initiative has worked with nearly 178 groups and granted funds to facilitate over 479 schemes.
Principles of Operation Watershed Active Communities Fund are to enable Parish & Town Council and community groups to manage and deliver community led projects that reduce flood risk through developing solutions and linking with resources including drainage engineers and contractors. West Sussex County Council designed Operation Watershed Active Communities Fund with the aim to minimise bureaucracy and reduce timescales so that communities could see a visible impact through projects that are prioritised and led by the community.
To ensure that Operation Watershed Active Communities Fund continues to meet its original aims and objectives, Operation Watershed Steering Group are seeking your views through the following questionnaire. The insight you provide will be invaluable.
Closing date for responses for West Sussex County Councillors is Wednesday 11 June 2025
