York Consortium of Drainage Boards

Welcome to your Drainage Boards

Welcome to the website of the York Consortium of Drainage Boards. This site provides information on the Drainage Boards administered by the York Consortium of DBs including membership information, meeting dates, area maps and Policy Statements.

The origins of the Consortium go back to Mr T L Kay, a Solicitor in York, who became the part time Clerk to several of the members of the current Consortium from the 1930s. Under his, and subsequently his son's (Mr D R M Kay's) management, some of the Boards merged into larger units and others were brought in to that loose arrangement. In 1999 the formal Consortium was formed.

The following are the current Boards of the York Consortium -

Ainsty (2008)
Airedale DC
Beverley & North Holderness IDB
Foss (2008) IDB
Ouse and Derwent IDB

The Foss (2008) IDB was formed through the amalgamation of the Foss IDB and Wilberfoss and Thornton Level IDB, on the 1st April 2011.
The Ainsty (2008) IDB was formed on 1st April 2011 with the amalgamation of the Marston Moor IDB, Acaster IDB, North Wharfe IDB, South Wharfe IDB and Appleton Roebuck and Copmanthorpe IDB
