Watch the IEMA Midland Regional Group's online seminar, which explores the 2022 winter storms that led to a channel side collapse in Matlock, Derbyshire. The collapse compromised a floodwall, putting 50 properties and businesses at risk. The seminar delves into the technical challenges of delivering an immediate response to prevent further collapse, followed by substantial work over 18 months to rebuild the wall and restore flood defences to the town centre. It also discusses the impacts of climate change on the River Derwent, aging infrastructure, and the sustainability challenges and opportunities tackled during the project. Speaker: Becky Sharpe, Manager at the Environment Agency.
