This event is to raise awareness for the Silk Stream Flood Resilience Innovation Project, a 6-year, £6 million project to help tackle the effects of climate change by making space for water, reducing flooding and improving water quality in the Silk Stream catchment for the benefit of communities and the environment.
Local communities are at the heart of this project and as such we are looking to broaden our reach. Through this project you will have the opportunity to input into the designs of our green and blue spaces, a concept called “co-design”.
The event is being led by Barnet Council, and Harrow Council and funded by the Environment Agency and DEFRA. Click here for more information on the Silk Stream Project.
This project is funded by Defra as part of the £150 million Flood and Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme which is managed by the Environment Agency to develop and test new approaches to resilience tailored to local communities.
