Emerging Options Engagement Event - EXTENDED

Laois County Council and the OPW invite residents, businesses, landowners and other interested parties to participate in the Emerging Options Engagement Event for the Mountmellick Flood Relief Scheme.

The event is now live and will run until the extended date of Monday 10th May.

Please click the button below to visit our virtual meeting room, where a summary presentation and more detailed displays in the consulting room will allow you to find out more about:

• Our understanding of the flooding processes in Mountmellick
• The long list of flood management measures that have been considered
• How these measures have been tested and grouped into emerging options
• The measures and options which were not effective in reducing flood risk to Mountmellick
• The options which were beneficial in reducing flood risk and which we would now like your feedback on.  These are presented in outline in the map below.

We are seeking your thoughts on the options, looking for constraints to their implementation and suggestions for changes or alternatives.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we can't meet you in person but you will have the opportunity to book a follow up consultation with a member of the project team to chat through your thoughts and to allow us to answer any questions you may have.
