Flood defence work to protect homes and businesses in Denbigh, Wales, is in the final stages of completion.
There are with two phases remaining, and has involved improvements to many parts of the town to reduce the risk of flooding for generations to come.
The Denbigh scheme has been designed to prevent the flooding of such properties and will take account of climate change.
It constructs improvements to drainage systems and sees the development of a flood risk management plan for the town to improve flood awareness and resilience and co-ordinate the emergency response of the local authority, emergency services and public at risk.
The scheme is one of a number of significant Assembly Government funded flood risk projects to be funded with European Convergence money, which aim to protect communities but also look at flood warnings, emergency response and awareness-raising to help communities to adapt to the increasing threats posed by rising sea levels.
It has been carried out this year following a joint £5m funding announcement in January, with funding provided by the Welsh Assembly Government, the European Union and Denbighshire County Council.
Environment Minister Jane Davidson said: "Management of our coastline and rivers is essential if we are to adapt successfully to the effects of climate change."
"This project is a great example of how local government and the Assembly Government can work together to benefit the community."
