Environment Agency & flood warnings

The meadow sits within the River Dee flood plain a few miles south of Chester. The Environment Agency give automated flood warnings if you sign up, although the online form expects a house or business postal address.
I've sent them an email with the Ordnance Survey grid reference and the nearest postcode at the same land level along the river.
Also in the email, I queried the general condition of the drainage ditch along the A543 and it's channel being overgrown with willow trees.
I'm not sure whose responsibility this would be (it's just outside my boundary), but it was constructed as part of the Holt-Farndon bypass which effectively split the originally larger meadow in two with a raised section to cross the River...
