Passage
Construction of the East Mere flood barrier was scheduled to begin in April, but work was delayed when surveys identified protected nesting birds near the eastern access route. The project team changed the route rather than waiting until the nesting season ended. This required a revised traffic plan and additional ground testing, but allowed the main construction contract to begin in June. The barrier is still expected to become operational before the winter flood season, although landscaping work will continue afterwards.
Statement
The revised route added preparatory work while allowing construction to start before the nesting season ended and keeping the winter operational date achievable.
