Derwent Connections Partners
As the Derwent connections project continues to grow, we recognise that we would not be able to achieve our vision without the support of the local communities in the Derwent Catchment area. This is why we are striking up new relationships with local groups and projects around the River Derwent to inspire the community to act against flooding.
