Barton to New Holland Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme - responding to funding challenges

The project team worked hard to develop the project appraisal and completed the Outline Business Case in January. This business case is being revised based on new information and construction is now likely to begin in 2027. However, the economic business case for the project is likely to remain very robust as it reduces flood risk to around 1300 properties.

Both the project Steering Group and Resilience Advisory Group are being kept informed and North Lincolnshire Council will be approached for a contribution towards developing the Full Business Case. The project team continues to explore options to reduce costs.
