Our City, Our River
Our City, Our River (OCOR) is the scheme dealing with Derby’s flood defences. Derby City Council’s planning committee has given the green light for the next stage, Package 2, of the OCOR flood defence scheme.
Package 2 of the partnership project with the Environment Agency will improve resilience along the east bank of the River Derwent as it goes through the city centre, starting at Causey Bridge and ending at the railway bridge across the river. This covers the riverbank opposite the Council House and River Gardens, which were protected by Package 1.
