It provides drainage and at times takes flood waters out to the sea. The APPG provides an essential conduit to delivering sustainable management.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
