The Environment Agency is delivering a Flood Risk Management Scheme to better protect homes, schools, and businesses along sections of the River Ribble and River Darwen. The Scheme will also deliver improvements to the local environment and community amenities.
Information on the Preston and South Ribble (PSR) pages has been provided by the Environment Agency and was correct at the time of upload. The Flood Hub is not responsible for any information held on the PSR pages.
The Environment Agency conducted a public consultation on Phase 2 of the Preston and South Ribble Flood Risk Management Scheme. The consultation was held between Monday 5 May until Thursday 5 June 2025 and gathered views on the proposals to repair, replace and extend flood defences on the River Ribble in Walton-le-Dale and short sections on Chorley Road and Higher Walton Road on the River Darwen.
The Environment Agency’s consultation on the proposals is now closed and they are now considering feedback before they submit a planning application later this year.
