Good news about flood protection for BJ

There is good news about flood protection for the village.  Many thanks to Cllr James O’Riordan for his work in pursuing this matter and for this information from the Environment Agency.

The Regional Flood Defence Committee has approved funding for work to deal with the flood risk posed by the Crock Dumble in the village.  The EA aims to construct a pumping station during the drier months of 2007.
 

A further bid for £1,000,000 will be made for works to improve or replace embankment works to improve protection from the River Trent next year.
