Bristol, UK — A £120 million ($163.8 million) flood defence scheme protecting communities from Lamplighter's Marsh to Aust Cliff has finally been completed after years of delays. The 17-kilometre project, overseen by the Environment Agency, was designed to safeguard thousands of residents from rising river and tidal flood risks. Officials say the barrier will provide long-awaited peace of mind, but questions remain over whether it can withstand the growing challenges of climate change.
