THERE will be a meeting this afternoon to showcase the Environment Agency's £1.9m flood prevention scheme for Marlow.
The presentation, which will unveil measures to protect 172 homes in the Gossmore Lane area, will take place between 4 and 8pm in the Marlow Town Council offices in Pound Lane, Marlow.
Stephen Hunter from the Environment Agency said: "This exhibition will give the residents of the Gossmore Lane area the chance to come along and ask any questions they might have about our proposed scheme and how we plan to manage the area's flooding problems.
"At present, homes in the area have about a ten per cent annual chance of flooding.
"Our scheme, which has been designed in conjunction with engineering consultants Halcrow, is anticipated to protect the area against one in 100 year flooding events, or a one per cent annual chance of flooding."
The plans were approved at a meeting of Marlow Town Council last Tuesday, and the Environment Agency will be submitting a planning application in the spring.
