Flood Prevention Update
April 2, 2008
Following the narrow escape on July 20th last year, the following progress has been made in reducing the risks of further flooding in the future:
- The Environment Agency (EA), which is responsible for the river and flood defences including the floodwall and the pumps by the church, has approved in principle a £775,000 Flood Alleviation Scheme which it hopes will start this summer and be completed by March 2009. The EA and the Parish Council are currently working on the scoping document for the project which will involve realigning the river to the east of Bascote Bridge and raising the flood wall by some 20cm.
