ISBOURNE CATCHMENT

The Isbourne Catchment Group (ICG) is a recently formed community group focussed upon the catchment of the River Isbourne from its source on Cleeve Common to its confluence with the River Avon at Evesham. A distance of 14 miles with a catchment area of circa 48 square miles. The catchment based approach is a deliberate move to avoid "artificial" boundaries not recognised by the River, such as parish or county boundaries. Membership of the group has been drawn from parishes along the length of the catchment and reflects interests arising from the devastating floods of 2007, and on-going flood risks... We have established a River Isbourne Catchment group, to consider and hopefully through collective action address the longer term environmental management/flood risks associated with the river and its tributaries... As a flood group in Sedgeberrow we have experience of the many agencies involved with the flooding issue and feel a collective approach based upon the actual river catchment..
