			\|Project summary=Following the tidal surge of December 2013, the businesses and residents of Waldringfield in Suffolk (Map 1) formed the Waldringfield Flood Defence Group. Working with the East Suffolk Internal Drainage Board, the Group has achieved a more resilient flood defence for the community along 1km of estuary frontage. The Group raised funds through the Coastal Communities Fund and other funding routes to pay for the works.
			The work began in February 2015 and consisted of 2 phases. Phase 1 (south section) involved raising the brick wall to protect village properties fronting the estuary, along with a counterwall to separate this part of the flood cell from the north section. Phase 2 (north section) involved raising and widening the clay embankment together with saltmarsh restoration.
			The Phase 2 design and build project aimed to create a higher wall, with a wider crest width and gentle back slope to withstand overtopping and breaching in the future. In addition, by winning all the material from the farmland behind the wall, a new freshwater wetland was created. This wetland provided delivered suitable alternative habitat for water voles within a year of its construction. The East Suffolk Internal Drainage Board also designed and delivered a saltmarsh restoration pilot as part of the scheme to add further natural flood protection to the wall. The project was officially launched on 1 December 2015 and has been praised locally as a great model of partnership working. This project is a demonstration of what can be achieved at relatively low cost on rural flood defences.
			Through a partnership approach incorporating both traditional and working with natural processes (WWNP) measures, significant improvements have been made to flood risk management for approximately 20 properties and a well-used public footpath, along with the creation of freshwater habitat and restoration of saltmarsh. Early monitoring results demonstrate that simple and relatively inexpensive brushwood structures can increase sediment accumulation within areas of eroded saltmarsh, providing benefits to both flood defence and habitat.
