Construction of the Brighouse Flood Alleviation Scheme is apparently progressing well. Click the below link to view the latest Information Bulletin and on the video below that to watch the newest drone footage of the work.
The scheme includes:
- Upstream storage in Whinney Hill Park and Wellholme Park
- The replacement or repair of existing defences along the River Calder
- Widening the channels to help prevent Clifton Beck and River Calder from overflowing
As well as reducing the risk of flooding to homes and businesses, the scheme will also deliver environmental benefits along the Clifton Beck Catchment by creating and enhancing natural habitats and by supporting Natural Flood Management measures.
A leaflet explaining more information about the scheme can be viewed by clicking here.
