Rother Tidal Walls East Flood Alleviation Scheme

Welcome to the webpage, on this site you will find regular updates and information about the scheme and construction works.  

What is the Rother Tidal Walls East Scheme?

The existing Rother Tidal Wall defenses are largely made up of earth embankments. They extend for approximately 5km from the tidal limit at Scots Float Sluice, along the eastern side of the tidal River Rother to the Harbour Master’s office near Rye Golf Club. If water were to rise over the earth embankments, they would be liable to breach. This would cause major flooding to the community in East Rye and Guldeford, as well as tidal flooding of Romney and Walland Marshes.
