flag Decades after Storm Eva's floods devastated Bury, a new £40M flood barrier opens to protect 870 homes.

flag Ten years after Storm Eva's record rainfall caused catastrophic flooding in Bury, residents of Radcliffe and Redvales reflected on the devastation that displaced hundreds, destroyed homes, and triggered a building collapse. flag The floods, which overwhelmed the River Calder, led to evacuations by boat, emergency rescues, and a red 'danger to life' alert. flag Community volunteers and local groups played a crucial role in recovery, while a £40 million flood defence project, including new floodgates at Hardy’s Bridge approved in 2025, aims to protect up to 870 homes for the next century. flag Though physical recovery has progressed, long-term emotional impacts remain, and officials continue to warn against driving through floodwaters.
