Resilience Advisory Group

The Resilience Advisory Group (RAG) is a forum for dialogue between the project team and a range of stakeholders including local councils, organisations, and community groups that represent the interests of the community and the area. Each quarter a RAG meeting or update is held to update on project progress and to hear from the RAG membership.

We ran a successful Resilience Advisory Group meeting on 18 May. We discussed key topics including design and engineering updates, and the range of past and ongoing environmental and ecological surveys.

Design and Engineering | Detailed design is progressing well, with embankment design work already well underway. Property Flood Resilience measures are also moving into the next stage, being delivered in partnership with North Lincolnshire Council. Meanwhile, investigations into potential additional structures at New Holland Drain and Foster’s Wharf continue, alongside the development of options for possible additional works at Barrow Haven.

Environmental and Ecological Surveys | The surveys completed so far include Badger and Bat surveys, Heritage Assessments and UK Habitat Surveys. Findings from the heritage survey further highlighted the interesting and diverse heritage, including claypits, brick and tile making, designated and non designated heritage assets in the area.
