Part of the £4 million Steeple Bumpstead Flood Alleviation Scheme. There are several new bridges required to remove restrictions on Helions Brook and Bumpstead Brook, hence the high cost. See Image for the reason why it is needed, the area also flooded in 2009. Image and Image show the ford that used to be here.
