About the event
The Preston & South Ribble Flood Risk Management Scheme is a multi-phase project that will protect over 5000 homes upon completion. We are repairing and replacing several kilometres of flood wall alongside the creation of natural flood barriers along the River Ribble at Preston and Penwortham before moving on to Walton-le-Dale in 2026.
- Use of a concrete artist on the scheme to give new flood walls units the appearance of 250+ year old listed and scheduled monument
- Use of reinforced glass panels capable of withstanding forces of a flood event while preserving views of the river
Activities
Visitors will receive a short presentation from the site team before being taken on a guided tour around the perimeter of the active site, as well as through completed sections of the works. This will give guests the chance to see progress up close, understand how the project is being delivered, and gain insight into the different stages of construction from planning to completion.
