The Anglian (Great Ouse) Regional Flood & Coastal Committee, which covers our area, is looking for two new independent members.

Anglian (Great Ouse) RFCC stretches from Kings Lynn in the north to Stevenage in the south.  It reaches as far east as Attleborough and as far west as Banbury. (See this on a map.)

The Committee is looking for people with the following experience.

• An applicant from the academic community, with expertise in environment issues including climate change adaptation and mitigation.
• An applicant from a water company background.

The roles will be available from January 2023. They are not paid, but are an amazing opportunity to get involved with issues that really matter, gain new skills and experience, and build networks. The RFCC covers reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and time off work.  You will need to be able to join four meetings a year and prepare by reading papers in advance.

You can read more about the role of RFCCs in the candidate pack, and more information about the roles is available here. The closing date for applications is Sunday 27 November.
