Serving the people of Deanshanger

Deanshanger Parish Council has been accepted onto the LENs project who will fund and implement flood mitigation works in and around Deanshanger.

We are currently waiting for the specification of works to be agreed and once that has been done local landowners will be contacted for permission to undertake this work and once agreed a contractor will be appointed and the work will start.

This is a major project which neither the Parish Council or West Northants Council would have been able to do so are grateful that LENs have agreed to do this.

LENs, or Landscape Enterprise Networks, is a system for organising the buying and selling of nature-based solutions. Nature-based solutions are land management measures that deliver ecosystem functions, such as water quality management, flood risk management, resilient supply of crops, carbon, or biodiversity outcomes.

LENs systematically brings a diversity of private and public-sector organisations together around a common interest in funding nature-based solutions within a given geography. LENs then brokers negotiations, and eventually transactions, between these buyers and groups of landowners who are in a position to deliver them on the ground.

It's a new but proven system, with millions of pounds worth of live transactions set to repeat and grow in our most advanced trading locations.
