Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Three properties in the village of Greta Bridge, south of Barnard Castle on Teesside (Map 1), are subject to flooding from Tutta Beck (Photo 1), a tributary of the River Greta which is itself a tributary of the River Tees. The last flood in 2012 resulted in allocation of Local Levy funding and design for a 'hard measure' to be installed. However, the village is in a building conservation area and has significant archaeological heritage, and the proposed flood fence was not supported by local residents. The Tees Rivers Trust identified a Heritage Lottery funding opportunity to support a MSc research project at Durham University to model Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures in the catchment. This has now been completed and a business case to put NFM measures in place is being made by Durham County Council. Work to install measures is expected to begin in spring 2017.
