What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Angus Council approved plans to demolish dozens of homes in Brechin that were damaged by flooding from Storm Babet in October 2023. The council agreed to changes in the river’s flood defences that could potentially cost £8.2 million. Jill Scott, a councillor representing Brechin and Edzell, lodged a motion asking the council to back an £8 million option that includes flood protection enhancements and the demolition of a total of 154 homes.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decision addresses the failure of flood defences in Brechin, which currently offer only a fraction of the protection they were built to withstand. The proposed uplift to the flood defences would involve a combination of concrete walls and flood gates through The Inch. This strategy involves managing a significant housing stock issue in Brechin.
