Lincolnshire County Council has vowed to improve its approach to flooding as a result of the issues at Christmas.
A meeting of the council s flood and water management scrutiny committee heard criticism of the council s response to flooding on December 23 and 24, in particular in Bourne and Spalding.
The council s head of environment David Hickman said lessons had been learned but that the council was caught off-guard because more rain fell than had been forecast.
