A FLOOD prevention scheme could cover villages in and around Kings Worthy.

Councillors at Kings Worthy Parish Council heard at a meeting that a pre-feasibility study revealed there is potential for a combined scheme.

The scheme would cover Littleton, Headbourne Worthy and Kings Worthy, and it could be backed by national funding.

Now a detailed engineering study will be commissioned through Hampshire County Council’s Engineering Consultancy team, and will be managed by the authorities Capital Projects Team.
