Making space for water - Churchtown and Crossens, Southport

Closed 6 Nov 2023

Opened 11 Sep 2023

Overview

The project, ‘Making Space for Water - Churchtown and Crossens, Southport’, aims to reduce flooding in the area by creating spaces for water to flow into during heavy rain and replacing some of the underground pipes to allow more water to flow them. 

The new spaces where water will flow into will not only lower the flood risk but will also encourage all life to thrive in the area.  It will allow plants and wildlife to grow and provide spaces for people to also enjoy nature. People may also like to help with taking care of the nature areas and helping people to value the importance of making space for water and nature and all the good things that can come from it.

Why your views matter

It is important for you to be aware of the plans and provide your thoughts. This will allow us to consider information you give us which could change the plans before moving onto the next stage, which will be creating more detailed designs, seeking necessary approvals and securing the funding to undertake the work.    

What happens next

Your answers and comments will be summarised and used to inform the next stage of planning for the project. A report will be written and published to inform you of the outcome of the consultation and what changes to the plans have been made as a result of your comments. This will be published mid December.
