How the council prepares for flooding

How landowners can help

We want to work with landowners to help reduce the risk of flooding in Littleborough and Rochdale by encouraging you to plant trees or add water features, dams and walls.

We're working with the Environment Agency and the National Flood Forum and want to talk to anyone who owns land that's close to or drains into the River Roch and its tributary streams.

This scheme is designed to reduce the rate at which water gets into the river by natural flood management.

If you own land that would be suitable, please contact us to discuss opportunities and how we can help make them happen.
