Herefordshire Council completed a flood management scheme in Lea in April 2021 to address significant flooding issues, including installing a new carrier pipe, supporting kerbs, gullies, and flood walls to intercept surface water from the B4222 and direct it to Rudhall Brook. The project also involved footpath widening and the construction of a large tank to manage floodwaters.
