Water Land Drainage

davews

Hi sorry if i have posted this in the wrong place but not to sure where it should go.

I live in Cambridgeshire and own a small holding, we currently pay two drainage boards for the drainage on our land.

I was wondering if this is the norm, should i not just be paying one?

Any advice or help would be appreciated

Thank you.

I would have thought you should just pay the one charge unless your land crosses borders

Hi thanks for the reply, found this out...

Q.5 Why have I received 2 rate demands from you for my land?

A Within the Middle Level Commissioners’ area, land is double rated, being rated both by the Commissioners and the local internal drainage board, for their respective works. Each issues a separate demand for rates and therefore each issues a demand for each parcel of land, in their areas.

I feel ripped off ..again!

Cheers.
