An independent review which has been commissioned by Thames Water to examine the flash flooding that affected many parts of the capital in July 2021 has launched.
The Environment Agency has outlined the work it has undertaken in around £30 million worth of investments in flood defence schemes, repairs and improvements to the thousands of flood risk assets in the Great River Ouse catchment.
The Environment Agency has decided that increased costs and reduced benefits of the proposed Reading & Caversham Flood Alleviation Scheme mean it will not attract government funding and will therefore not be progressed further.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is retreating rapidly as a warming ocean slowly erases its ice from below, leading to faster flow, more fracturing, and a threat of collapse, according to an international team of scientists.
An Environment Agency scheme to better protect businesses and homes from flooding on two industrial estates in Hexham is taking a step forward with the Final Business Case approved and funding secured for the £5.2 million Flood Alleviation Scheme.
