NEXT MEETING
Friday March 21st
“Toddbrook Dam – What is Kier up to”
In July 2019 the 200 year old dam in Whaley Bridge, holding back millions of litres of water, nearly collapsed following days of heavy rain. 1500 residents had to be evacuated and Royal Air Force Chinooks were a remarkable sight as they filled the hole with rubble.
Nothing happened for another 3 years – and since then the area has been full of heavy lorries negotiating tight corners and low bridges, in the £15 million reconstruction and repair of this unique and important infrastructure.
Speakers from both Kier and the Canal & River Trust will come to speak to us.
