Wednesday 19 June 2024, 7.30 pm, Council Chamber, First floor, Lewes Town Hall, High Street entrance (Disabled entrance & lift on Fisher Street)
John Gower, Friends of Lewes
Climate change is bringing increasing rainfall and building development is paving over green surfaces causing more and faster runoff which makes its way into our streams and rivers. Sea levels are rising and the landmass of the South of England is sinking by 1.5mm a year. All this combines to increase flood risk to Lewes and the lower ouse valley.
John Gower, the Flood Lead for the Friends of Lewes, will be giving a talk on the 19 June on Climate change: implications for coastal & fluvial flooding in Lewes and the lower Ouse valley.
John has recently retired after a lifelong career as an environmental scientist and climate change/ flood risk manager with the Environment Agency. John will explain the risks around ever-increasing flood risks, what we can do to mitigate these and how we will need to adapt in the future.
This talk is free for Friends of Lewes. Non-members can pay £4.00 on the door to attend or join here.
