Caroline Nokes MP(Romsey and Southampton North) has unveiled the Romsey flood alleviation scheme, which will better protect 127 properties by reducing the risk of flooding from the River Test and surface water<\/h2>\n

The Romsey flood alleviation scheme<\/a>, which became operational in autumn 2021, reduces flooding from the River Test and surface water.<\/p>\n

Costing approximately \u00a39.5m to build, the scheme was funded from sources such as the flood and coastal erosion risk management grant in aid (\u00a36.4m), local levy from the Southern Regional Flood and Coastal Committee (\u00a31.2m), Hampshire County Council contribution (\u00a31.5m), Test Valley Borough Council contribution (\u00a30.3m) and EU funding (\u00a30.1m).<\/p>\n

The scheme, which took 3.5 years to build, has been developed through a partnership with Hampshire County Council and Test Valley Borough Council.<\/p>\n

Romsey has a history of flooding since the 1960s, with recent floods in 2014 badly impacting 80 properties<\/h3>\n

Water overtopped Fishlake Stream and the Barge Canal in the winter of 2013\/2014, badly flooding 36 homes and 44 commercial properties with devastating consequences for families and businesses.<\/p>\n

\"Romsey<\/p>\n

Simon Moody, area director, Environment Agency, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe climate emergency is bringing greater risks. We\u2019re seeing more extreme weather, with an increase in flooding. Our response must be to protect our communities as best we can, make them more resilient, and to tackle both the causes and consequences of climate change.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

The Romsey flood alleviation scheme includes a tilting weir structure used to control the flows of Fishlake Stream and earth embankments to contain the excess water within a flood plain. At the Causeway, more earth embankments have been built to manage flood water as well as a new bridge and a spillway to enable the flood plain to drain into the River Test.<\/p>\n

The risk of surface water flooding has been reduced by improvements to the existing drainage system including ditches, pipes and road drainage<\/a> at Mainstone junction and Middlebridge Street.<\/p>\n

Visual and environmental impact have been managed in partnership with local community<\/h3>\n

Nearly 150 metres of new water vole habitat have been created and 150 metres of river environment have been enhanced by managing vegetation and improving the structure that controls water flow in the Barge Canal. The London plane trees, some of the oldest in the country, were also carefully preserved during construction.<\/p>\n

Members of the local community were consulted throughout the scheme\u2019s development to ensure they were happy with the design. As a result, the new bridge on the Causeway is a Dutch, carbon-friendly design made of glass-reinforced plastic and is covered in timber to blend in with the picturesque surroundings.<\/p>\n

Councillor Edward Heron, executive lead member for Transport and Environment Strategy at Hampshire County Council, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe contributed \u00a31.5m towards the total cost and worked in partnership with the Environment Agency, the Borough Council and other local stakeholders on the planning, design and construction<\/a> of the scheme.<\/p>\n

While there will always be a risk of flooding, thanks to the work that has been completed, residents\u2019 properties, businesses, roads and other infrastructure are now much better protected and more resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n
