Natural Resources Wales is the Risk Management Authority (RMA) responsible for managing the risk of flooding from the River Towy in Carmarthen. The decision on whether a flood alleviation scheme is brought forward at Carmarthen Quay rests with it.

RMAs must prioritise investment towards homes and communities, where reducing risk to life takes priority. Flood alleviation schemes which only benefit businesses are eligible for funding from our flood and coastal erosion risk management programme. This approach is set out in our National Strategy. However, any RMA which pursues such a scheme would need to justify why it is diverting funding away from other high-risk communities elsewhere in Wales.
