August Update from the Environment Agency

Rolleston Brook August Update

I am pleased to share that we have now secured funding to undertake property suitability surveys for those residents who have registered an interest in the proposed Property Flood Resilience (PFR) scheme. We expect these surveys to take place over the next couple of months, and the relevant residents have now been contacted. The surveys will be carried out by our trusted consultants and will assess each property to determine what PFR measures, if any, may be appropriate. The findings will provide the technical information needed to develop the next stage of the project and complete the Full Business Case.

While the surveys do not guarantee that PFR measures will be installed at every property, they represent a significant milestone in progressing the scheme. Subject to the survey findings and the availability of future government funding, we remain optimistic that we will be able to progress delivery in the next financial year.
Kind regards, Tom Ellis
