We’re excited to share news with you on the tremendous progress being made so far this year on the Avonmouth Severnside Enterprise Area (ASEA) Ecology Mitigation and Flood Defence Project, the biggest of its type in the West of England. The project covers an extensive area, stretching from Aust in the north to Lamplighters Marsh in the south.
When the project is complete in 2026/27 we will have:
- Provided around a 17km length of flood defence, reducing flood risk to 2,500 homes and businesses
- Helped to unlock 12,000 new jobs for the West of England
- Created a minimum of 80 hectares of new wetland habitats for internationally important bird species
- Created improved walking routes, making it easier for everyone to enjoy nature and the spectacular views of the Severn Estuary.
We welcome your feedback. Let us know, too, if there is a future topic that you would like covered in this e-newsletter.
