Steeping River Update - Dredging starts again this month
 
 
image.
 
 
Targeted dredging started again this month between the western railway bridge and the layby on the B1195 near Wainfleet. Partners concluded this forms part of the actions that can be taken to reduce flood risk in this area, alongside others including grass cutting and weed clearance. The dredging only became possible, thanks to contributions from East Lindsey District Council, Lindsey Marsh Drainage Board, Lincolnshire County Council and the Environment Agency. Phase 1, completed last year, saw a total of 55,000 cubic metres of silt removed. Phase 2 is expected to be finished in March.

For more information please see the latest Steeping Community Update Issue 16.
