Padiham's multi-million pound flood risk management scheme is set to continue
Work is set to begin on proposed sites as part of Padiham’s £9 million flood scheme.
Once completed, the scheme will aim to protect over 150 homes and bushinesses in central Padiham as well as manage surface water risk on local highways.
The Environment Agency said it will carry out the investigations including digging of trial pits and boreholes to identify foundations and underground services at sites across the town. This work is expected to last for around 8 weeks.
This investigation work will allow the Environment Agency, Burnley Borough Council and other partners to anticipate any issues and plan effectively for the construction phase.
