An £80,000 wetlands project to reduce flood risk and boost wildlife habitat in West Yorkshire has been completed.

As part of the work at Chellow Dene Wetlands, near Bradford, a leaky dam and meanders have been created to help slow the flow of water and allow fish to move freely.

The dam, made of natural materials, allows more flood water to enter the plain and reduces flows downstream before it gradually makes its way back into the beck.

    That sounds like ridiculously good value.
