flag A new drainage system in Suffolk, completed in March 2026, reduces flooding in the Easton Valley reedbed, protects rare species, and restores coastal path access.

flag A new drainage system completed in early March 2026 along the B1127 Wrentham to Southwold Road is reducing flooding caused by rising water levels in the Easton Valley reedbed, a key wildlife habitat. flag The system, featuring underground pipes beneath the beach, diverts excess water to prevent blockages and protect rare species like bitterns and sand lagoon shrimp. flag It also restores access to the King Charles III England Coast Path by eliminating 2.5 miles of inland diversions and reopens a previously submerged footpath. flag Natural England, the Environment Agency, and Suffolk County Council are monitoring its performance as part of an adaptive management strategy for the eroding coastal area.
