Heavy rain on Christmas Eve saw the river reach its highest level for months. Work on the 'B' section of the flood alleviation scheme is in progress with a new drainage sheugh draining into the Shimna as well as a flood gate being constructed at the vehicle entrance to Tipperary Lane. For the duration of construction Tipperary Lane is out of-bounds to the public. https://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/publications/shimna-flood-alleviation-scheme-construction-updates
