This cost £15,000 and was completed in 2017. Finally in 2019, the Homes &amp; Communities Agency, in partnership with the EA, has delivered the Avenue Flood Balancing Reservoir, with the EA contributing £2.9 million. This is a flood storage reservoir designed to reduce flooding along the River Rother, better protecting 115 properties.</p><p> </p><p>For ongoing work to reduce flooding in the future, a natural flood management (NFM) officer has been employed for two years using £69,000 of local levy funding to deliver NFM measures in the upper Rother Catchment, particularly benefitting Chesterfield and surrounding settlements. This proposal has been developed in partnership with Derbyshire County Council and the EA.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 23/01/2020 16:23:40 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
