Lowry Building and Civil Engineering has completed work on a flood alleviation scheme in Ahoghill, Co Antrim.

The £200,000 project involved replacing an existing culvert chamber, headwall and grille in the grounds of Brookside Presbyterian Church.

Further works were carried out at watercourses within Ahoghill, with a new box culvert and pipeline built.

The scheme was carried out to reduce the risk of the flooding which occurred following a weather event, when floodwater over-spilled the banks of an open section of watercourse and flowed overland into the village centre, causing internal flooding to 15 residential and 11 commercial properties.
