The swollen Shimna above the New Bridge on Christmas Day. 2021
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.
