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 wants to hear your views on 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.
Why it matters:
The Environment Agency’s consultation on the proposals will run from Monday 5 May until Thursday 5 June 2025, and they want to hear your feedback.
While many aspects of the scheme – such as the location and structure of the flood defences – are based on technical and environmental requirements, the Environment Agency are still keen to hear your views. Your feedback can help them understand local concerns, shape how the scheme is delivered, and inform how they communicate as the project progresses.
Whether you have questions, ideas, or things you’d like them to consider, they want to hear from you.
You can also come and see the proposals, talk to the Environment Agency project team, and share your views at the consultation drop in event.
