The borough is very susceptible to surface water flooding, seen most dramatically in the summer of 2007. The borough experienced drastic surface flooding most recently in April and July 2021. Richmond has identified a series of localised flooding issues. The majority of the localised flooding incidents were typically as a result of blocked gullies and/or culverts, sewer flooding or surface water flooding. Our Strategic Flooding Risk Assessment lays out the impact of flooding in the borough, both in the past and expected in further detail: https://www.richmond.gov.uk/media/14421/richmond_sfra_0516.pdf The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures. A successful bid was entered for funding from DEFRA to improve community resilience to flooding in the Beverley Brook catchment area in partnership with WWT, who run the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, and the Friends of Barnes Common.An initial Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) for the period 2014-2020 was published in 2015. This is due to be updated in 2021/22 to align with the Environment Agency’s (EA) new National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy and Action Plan. The LFRMS will continue to identify flood risk and how it is managed locally, roles and responsibilities for managing flood risk and an action plan for managing risk. In addition to this a new Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is in the preliminary phases of production which will take a catchment-based approach to surface water flood risk based on the drainage network; it will identify areas with higher numbers of properties at risk of flooding. It will present borough-wide surface water flood risk mitigation options which can be taken forward for more detailed investigation into the feasibility, cost and benefit of options.The council is considering hazards in the context of the 2021 CCC "Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk".

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future2In the UK the 2003 led to around 2,000 premature deaths and deaths among people aged over 75 rose by 60 per cent in London. Whilst this heatwave was particularly notable for the link to increased mortality, there have been a number of heatwaves since, increasing in frequency. The most recent heatwave was during the summer of 2021.As our average summer temperature are predicted to keep rising, we can expect heatwave temperatures to occur more frequently and in most summers.As a city, London faces a heightened level of risk from heat due to the Urban Heat Island effect. Urban landscapes absorb and trap heat more than others, which contributes to the amplification of heat effects. This can result in a 10˚C difference between London and its surroundings. This means that as temperatures keep rising, London is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of heat. London Councils have identified some of the impacts of higher temperatures on London’s transport and economy:•‘There are measures for temperatures above 24°C to prevent train tracks from buckling•At or above 33°C tarmac, asphalt and bitumen road surface begins to soften•At or above 36°C power sources begin overheating and extreme precautions – such as speed limiting– may need to be introduced to prevent rail lines buckling•At projected average and extreme higher temperatures, London’s buildings will become more uncomfortable, more expensive to run through cooling energy costs and potentially dangerous to health as a result of high internal temperatures in poorly designed offices. This could result in productivity losses, the need for retrofitting mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems, and reduced property valuations.’Public Health England found that during Summer 2020, there were 3 periods that met the PHE heatwave definition.These periods added to a total of 19 days in heatwave conditions. PHE estimated the cumulative all-cause excess mortality around the heatwave period to be 2,556, with 311 excess deaths observed in the 0-64 years group and 2,244 excess deaths observed in the 65+years group.The retrofit work and strong building standards that we are implementing locally aims to build upon the positive steps taken by the GLA towards minimising the impact of this climate hazard.The council is considering hazards in the context of the 2021 CCC "Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk". The report identified more than 60 risks.

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future3The expectation for the South of England is that Climate Change will lead to an increase in extreme weather events, an increase in precipitation and a warmer climate. For this reason, an extreme cold wave is not expected to be a significant hazard for the future. Nonetheless, even with a warmer climate overall, there remains some risk of an extreme cold wave.An estimated 12% of households in Richmond live in fuel poverty, based on data from the English Housing Survey and the Council supports local residents through fuel grants and a Winter Warm Service. Inefficient homes have a dual adverse impact on residents, during times of increased heat or cold. The CCC ‘Progress in Adapting to Climate Change 2021 Report to Parliament’ found that ‘cold related deaths will remain significant and mitigation action to improve the thermal comfort of homes in winter as well as summer remains urgently needed.’The council is considering hazards in the context of the 2021 CCC "Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk".

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future4Whilst there have been droughts in London and the South of England previously which have seen ground water levels drop considerably, these have typically been managed via measures such as hosepipe bans. The Water Advisory Group including the GLA continue to investigate how best to mitigate against this hazard in the future, including through further investment in our water management infrastructure and through diversifying our water supply. The CCC identifies that areas with growing populations, as is the case in Richmond, will be increasingly drought prone. More sophisticated metrics are needed to help inform how ecosystems are responding to climate change to better focus our response to these risks. The report highlights the potential use of remote sensing tools to improve our surface area mapping and drought predictions.The National Infrastructure Strategy (2020) requires that increased incidence of droughts is considered amongst the expected effects of climate change at the design stage for major projects.Thames Water has produced “Drought Vulnerability Surfaces (DVS)” which represent the company’s resilience / sensitivity to drought. The DVS has highlighted that the London Water resource zone is resilient to drought, but vulnerable to severe droughts with extended durations of 18 to 24 months. Thames Water note that climate change will increase the frequency and severity of droughts and we can expect more extreme droughts in the future. The company emphasises that “Supply can be maintained during extreme events through the extended use of environmentally damaging drought permits”, but this is not a sustainable or desirable long-term solution.The council is considering hazards in the context of the 2021 CCC "Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk".

The borough is very susceptible to surface water flooding, seen most dramatically in the summer of 2007 and recently in July 2021. The majority of the localised flooding incidents were typically as a result of blocked gullies and/or culverts, sewer flooding or surface water flooding as the topography results in some steep slopes, especially in Richmond town centre which can form flow paths for surface water runoff and subsequently pluvial flooding at lower elevations. During heavy rains, runoff can flow very quickly along these paths and the local drainage system is unable to cope.The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures.

The Borough is protected against flooding from the River Thames by the Thames Tidal Defence (TTD) system. The TTD system provides protection against tidal flooding through a combination of raised flood defences, flood proofing to riverside properties and the Thames Barrier. The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2020 highlighted that the Beverley Brook responds faster to hydrological changes, which could place a greater number of people, properties and infrastructure at risk of flooding increasing the need for flood defence and mitigation measures.

Most mosquito species native to the UK do not transmit diseases (some Culex mosquitoes are capable of transmitting West Nile Virus). However, invasive mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, are capable of transmitting dengue and chikungunya diseases and Adese albopictus was recorded in southern England in 2016, 2017 and 2018, despite originating in southeast Asia. Recently, there have been changes in vector distribution across the UK. This includes identification of invasive species, such as Aedes albopictus, in Southern England as well as changing patterns of tick distributions. The causes of these changes are complex, however, climate change is thought to be a main contributory factor. Climate change causing higher temperatures, speed up mosquito development allowing for potentially earlier infection. Whilst temperature has less of an effect on ticks than it does on mosquitoes, ticks are affected by other climate variables such as moisture levels. Ticks are a key vector for the Borrelia bacteria that causes Lyme disease and can act as a vector for act as a vector for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE, however, is not present in the UK although it has been recorded in several European countries including Switzerland and the Netherlands. Ticks that may carry Lyme disease are common, found especially in woodlands and parks with deer, such as Richmond Park and Bushy Park, both within Richmond Borough. This is therefore already having a slight impact on Richmond residents, but may increase as a result of climate change. The identification of invasive mosquito species in Southern England can be expected to affect Richmond as a borough in this region.The council is considering hazards in the context of the 2021 CCC "Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk".
