The Black Sluice Internal Drainage Board (BSIDB) issued an official position statement directly linking the closure of the Black Sluice Pumping Station on London Road to severe regional flooding. [1, 2]

Following devastating flooding from the South Forty Foot Drain, the BSIDB stated in writing that had the pumps been fully operational, the flooding of homes in Boston may have been prevented, and agricultural flooding significantly reduced. This represented a major shift from the 2018 joint decision with the Environment Agency (EA) to decommission the site based on economic and computer models. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The core conflict between the organizations involves the following friction points:

  • The BSIDB's Reassessment: The drainage board argues that real-world winter flooding events have proven the EA’s pre-2016 computer modeling to be incorrect. They are calling for the decommissioning decision to be formally revisited and for the pumps to be brought back into service
