New flood defences already show value to Burton-upon-TrentOfficial opening of £30 million Burton-upon-Trent flood defences ![]() Upgraded flood defences at Burton-upon-Trent
The Environment Agency’s £30 million upgrade of Burton-upon-Trent’s flood defences is complete, with the defences already demonstrating their value to the town. The official opening is scheduled this Friday (16 July) in front of Burton Library. Will Groves, senior flood risk adviser for the Environment Agency, said:
He added:
The project follows work carried out between 2005 and 2007 and in all, Burton has some 9 kilometres of upgraded defences. The Environment Agency has also supported East Staffordshire Borough Council in work to improve the areas around the library and leisure centre. The council secured a £3 million grant from Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership to carry out additional public realm enhancements. This work includes a wetland area with a boardwalk and is due to be completed by March 2022. In addition to improving existing defences, the Environment Agency is constructing further defences near Branston Water Park off the A38 after some 18 properties were impacted in the 2020 floods. This work is expected to be completed by next spring 2022. While these defences are a major boost for the town, people still need to know what to do when flooding is expected so we urge people to check their flood risk, sign up for free flood warnings and keep up-to-date with the latest situation: If you’re at risk of flooding Steve Slessor, Managing Director of Galliford Try’s environment business, said:
