Summary[edit]

Description

Sod cutting ceremony for £31.4 million project.

The start of the Selkirk Flood Protection Scheme was marked today (Tuesday 24 June) with a sod-cutting ceremony.

Scotland’s Environment and Climate Change Minister Paul Wheelhouse opened the £31.4 million project, which received Scottish Government funding in March, alongside Scottish Borders Council (SBC) Leader David Parker.

The new scheme will remove 595 properties in the Bannerfield, Philiphaugh and Riverside areas of the town from the national flood risk register. It will do so by protecting against the effects of flooding from the Ettrick and Yarrow waters and the Long Philip and Shaw burns.

The advanced works contract was awarded in April to SBC Contracts and will see temporary access roads created, vegetation and tree clearance and public utility diversion works carried out in the coming months.
