1.    GIS files (shapefiles or similar) of areas with critical drainage problems, or local flood risk zones ('wetspots/hotspots' or flood zone 3a,3b) as define by either the SWMP or SFRA or other measures

2.     Updated/ available - current and previous reports and appendices of

SWMP (Surface water management plan) or similar,
SFRA (Strategic flood risk/ Consequence assessment),
PFRA (preliminary flood risk assessment),
