WILDLIFE charities have warned that a proposed project could result in more intense floodings in Warrington.

Cheshire Wildlife Trust and The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside are sounding the alarm over controversial plans to build a tidal barrage across the River Mersey.

The scheme, which is in the pre-application stage, is proposed by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and documents state it will harness renewable marine energy and provide reliable and predictable electricity power generation using the significant height difference in the tides.
