Explanatory note

This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the abolition, on a date one month after the confirmation of this Order, of the Curf Internal Drainage Board, the Wimblington Combined Internal Drainage Board and the Wimblington Common Drainage District Commissioners.

A new board, known as “the Curf and Wimblington Combined Internal Drainage Board” replaces these boards. The three former drainage districts are amalgamated to form the corresponding new internal drainage district.

A map of the three internal drainage districts amalgamated by virtue of the Scheme is available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the Environment Agency at Kingfisher House, Goldhay Way, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough PE2 5ZR and Bromholme Lane, Brampton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE28 4NE.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
