What happened
The Environment Agency completed a two-year flood defence project in Lymington at Toll Road. The upgrades, part of the Lymington Flood Alleviation Scheme, protect more than 140 properties from tidal flooding. New tidal flaps, made from high-density polyethylene and marine-grade stainless steel, were installed to replace heavily corroded original steel flaps.
