Tidal Defences Business Partnership
What is the Tidal Defences Business Partnership and what has it achieved?
The Tidal Defences Business Partnership is a business-led group working with the public sector to raise awareness and support for the tidal defences scheme.
The group has met regularly at the Town Hall and a wide variety of Great Yarmouth businesses have been present - together with important officers from Great Yarmouth Borough Council, the Environment Agency, New Anglia LEP and Peel Ports Great Yarmouth. The meetings are open to businesses of all sizes and sectors.
Working closely together, the group has made important progress, including supporting the submission of a significant bid for flood defence funding to New Anglia LEP, and commissioning the Great Yarmouth Flood Risk: Economic Impact Report (PDF, 4 MB)(opens new window) to add weight to this and further bids.
