This partnership project with the Bolesworth Estate and Tattenhall Wildlife Group created 1.5ha of priority reedbed and wet grassland habitats within a new excavated floodplain area. The project helps attenuate flood peaks and reduces risk downstream in Tattenhall. The North West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee allocated £13,500 of funding to this scheme from the North West 'Slowing the Flow' project. Key facts: 1.5ha of priority habitats created, wider and improved riparian zone and wildlife corridor: reduced diffuse agricultural pollution leading to reduced sediment input and improved water quality: helping to meet Water Framework Directive objectives; increased floodwater storage upstream and flood peak attenuation, which slows the flow of the brook, leading to some flood risk reduction benefits to the downstream village of Tattenhall Mill Brook, Tattenhall, Cheshire mill brook, tattenhall, cheshire http://www.therrc.co.uk/sites/default/files/projects/7_millbrook.pdf No Reedbed creation Floodplain creation Riparian habitat restoration Mill Brook mill brook Flood risk management Habitat and biodiversity Hydromorphology Social benefits 2018-11-01T11:43:23Z 2458423.9884607 2018-11-01T11:55:56Z 2458423.9971759 Mill Brook, Tattenhall, Cheshire 500 [2,"smw_unitnotallowed","\u00a3"] Mill Brook, Tattenhall, Cheshire# ERR7c4821480ce616a602940635f30465e2
