Barrow Landscape

Action Plan for Barrow

To create a more resilient region, we’ve committed to improving the health of rivers, lakes and waterways, helping to make the North West stronger, greener and healthier.

As part of our long-term Action Plan for Barrow, we’re working on a multi-million-pound investment programme to reduce storm water spills and enhance water quality.

We’re exploring a variety of techniques to improve Barrow’s water quality including building storage tanks and separating surface water from the combined sewer system, which would involve ‘re-plumbing’ drainage pipes from roofs, car parks and highways.

We recently held a community drop-in session at The Forum. Thank you to everyone who came to see us. If you were unable to make the session you can view the material here.
