What happened
The Environment Agency is undertaking upgrades to flood defences in Swindon, which involves replacing a debris screen on the River Ray watercourse at Rushey Platt Flood Storage Area. The work also includes adding stepped access and installing brushwood fascines to stabilize the bank. A temporary compound of approximately 50 square metres has been set up at The Orchards in Wroughton to support the project.
Why it matters
The upgrades involve replacing and improving local infrastructure to enhance flood resilience in the area. The Environment Agency stated that the planned improvements are not expected to have significant environmental effects, though an Environmental Action Plan has been prepared.
