If you intend doing any work on a watercourse you need to involve - and
probably get permission from - the Environment Agency. As they're dealing
with this type of problem all the time they would anyway be a useful
source of advice and expertise. Flood Defence is probably a good
department to start off with.


I am not sure about Flood defence in this case !
If you contact the E.A. they will tell you if the stream is registered with
them.
We had a problem with our stream and the E.A. could only advise - not
physically help as it is not "one of theirs".
If the "unregistered" stream is on the boundary between two landowners then
it is up to the "riparian " owners to sort it between themselves.

If it's anything to do with the council mentioned in yesterday's papers,
they won't be 'wellie trained' so they won't be allowed to get into the
stream..........
