People can now have their say on detailed designs for a Flood Alleviation Scheme in Eastern Marlow.
It is being proposed by Buckinghamshire Council along the Newt Ditch.
An online workshop for the community is being held on 7 September between 7.30pm and 9pm on Microsoft Teams.
Anybody who would like to register for it should email Ffion.Roberts@jacobs.com .
The scheme aims to reduce the flood risk to 41 residential and 9 non-residential properties, with the proposed solution focused around the culvert under Dedmere Road from Fieldhouse Way through to the open channel section either side of the A404.
A planning application will be submitted by the council at the end of 2021 and construction work will start in 2022 phased over 2 years, subject to planning permission and funding approval.
Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said:
"We're committed to managing flood risk, and this project is one of the various key projects aimed at managing flood risk across the county.
"I’d encourage local residents and businesses to have their say on the proposed Flood Alleviation Scheme in Eastern Marlow by joining our online workshop on Tuesday 7 September.
"Any feedback we receive will help us to amend our plans, where possible."
