VolkerStevin are constructing a flood defence scheme to reduce the risk of flooding across Rochdale and Littleborough. This will include a new flood storage area at Gale, as well as raised walls and improvements to culverts and bridges along four brooks. Work started in 2021. The next phase of the scheme involves the construction of a storage reservoir at Gale, just off Todmorden Road, and measures to improve water flow and flood defences along the River Roch and its tributaries.
