Hello from everyone at the Environment Agency and welcome to our latest round-up exclusively for Rochdale Online.
As we have just a few weeks left before we end what has been one of the most unusual and challenging years many of us have faced in living memory to the archives, let’s take a look back at the environmental highs and lows of 2020.
We hope you enjoy reading. Here’s what we have been up to in Rochdale and the surrounding areas over the last twelve months.
38 debris screens cleared and the risk of flooding reduced
Over the last twelve months, our Operations Team have removed blockages and cleared debris screens throughout the local area. Although this activity falls under general maintenance, it is perhaps some of the most vital work we can do to help reduce flood risk to the community by ensuring the rivers and streams of Rochdale and Bury remain clear.
