A project upstream of Holdingham will be receiving funding to develop a Natural Flood Management Scheme. The plans include reducing the chance and impact of flooding from the Field Beck and surface water to local properties and key infrastructure, such as the A15.
This is one of 40 projects across the country set to benefit from a share of £25 million funding for using nature to increase the nation’s flood resilience.
The announcement comes after a wide range of applications were submitted to the Environment Agency by community groups, environmental charities and councils for grants, following the launch of the largest-ever investment in natural flood management schemes in September last year. The Environment Agency led a review of these applications, with input from Defra and Natural England.
