Overview
This initiative has reduced flood risk for nearly 1,000 nearby properties, while safeguarding local wildlife and ensuring positive stakeholder management.
"Using a procurement framework designed for public sector organisations means that as well as delivering the essential flood defence works to help to protect communities, we’re confident that we will be getting access to specialists from Kier with a proven track record of delivering flood prevention works."
Councillor Graham Oakes, Executive Lead Member for Public Health, Climate Change and Environment, Somerset Council
"Having worked on a variety of projects in Somerset before, we know how important this green space is to the community. We’re looking forward to applying our technical skills and significant experience building flood resilience and habitat schemes to help protect this important amenity for generations to come."
