What happened
A new flood defense project in Brampton, which utilizes natural flood management techniques, has been completed. The scheme, which includes earth barriers and the restoration of a natural bog, is capable of holding back half a million litres of water every hour. The project was led by Brampton 2 Zero Community Interest Company, with support from farmer Alan Bowman.

Why it matters
The project addresses growing flood risks in Brampton, which is threatened by the beck running under its town centre. Climate change models predict that a 100-year flood event could affect 116 properties currently, rising to 196 by 2080.
