Flood Defences and Protection

After particularly bad floods in the summer of 2007, Harriett started campaigns to build more flood defences in the West Worcestershire area.

Since 2010, seven new flood defence schemes have been built with the help of the Environment Agency. Those schemes are in Uckinghall, Pershore, Powick and Kempsey, with two schemes in Upton-upon-Severn. The seventh, a community-based scheme, is in Callow End. 

Harriett continues to campaign for flood defence schemes at Severn Stoke and Tenbury Wells.

The Severn Stoke scheme is progressing well and has reached the planning permission stage.
