Communities in the River Pinn catchment have experienced flooding several times, most recently in June 2016.

The Environment Agency has been working with Hillingdon and Harrow councils and Thames Water to better understand the causes of this flooding and identify action that could reduce the risk.

They have been working closely with consultants and now have a list of options, which will be available to share.

Lucy Allard, of the Environment Agency, said: “We can only progress proposals if they are fully funded.

"The project is currently part-funded by central government, but there is still a need to find more funding, for example from organisations and businesses that will benefit.”

Consultation, which runs until April 9, can be accessed on  https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/
