Since 2024, the Environment Agency has not issued any Enforcement Notices under Schedule 25, Paragraph 8 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 to riparian owners in Huntingdonshire.

Flood risk concerns have been addressed through direct site visits and the provision of advice and guidance, with all riparian owners visited complying fully with the requested maintenance actions.
