Last updated 22nd Apr 2021
Residents are being invited to find out more about the Lowestoft Flood Risk Management Project.
It aims to protect over 1,500 homes and businesses in the town and members of the project team are holding virtual public meetings next month.
They will provide an opportunity for people to find out more about the project and ask any questions on:
- 4 May - 10am, 1pm and 6pm
- 6 May - 10am and 6pm
- 10 May - 10am, 1pm and 6pm
Project Executive Karen Thomas said:
"The Lowestoft Flood Risk Management Project is a once in a generation opportunity which, when complete, will provide flood protection to over 1500 homes and businesses and unlock economic development in the town.
"As society begins to reopen and construction begins on the tidal floodwalls, now is the ideal time to find out more about what the project entails and when key milestones will be, as well as ask questions."
The project is already underway and preparatory works began this month on Hamilton Road and Waveney Road ahead of the construction of tidal floodwalls in May.
Anyone who wants to take part in one of the hour-long meetings is asked to email charlotte.flight@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.
