Welcome to website of the York Consortium of Drainage Boards. This site provides information on the ten 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 by the following Boards with Mr D F Fullwood as Clerk:
 Acaster IDB
Beverley & North Holderness IDB
Foss IDB
Marston Moor IDB
North Wharfe IDB
South Wharfe IDB
Wilberfoss & Thornton Level DB
This arrangement worked well and the Consortium has been joined by more Boards, including Airedale Drainage Commissioners and the Ouse and Derwent IDB in 2004 along with
the Preston DB in 2006.
Specific information on each of the Drainage Boards can be found on the information pages of the relevant Board.
