The proposed outline designs for the flood defences will be on display at the event.“At present, no final decisions have been set in stone which gives us a great opportunity to share our refined options with local residents and get further local knowledge and insight on our proposals. “We would encourage everyone to come along to the drop-in session to learn more about our ongoing work, to contribute by sharing their views and thoughts on the plans and to see how they can continue to be involved in to the future.”For those unable to attend the upcoming drop-in session, information will also be available following the event by e-mailing [email protected]
