Mossdale Meadows: Flood Alleviation and Drainage Improvements
The aim of this project is to address flooding and drainage problems in different areas of Mossdale Meadows, and the proposals include all the following work:
Replacement of vehicular culvert bridge over Lubbesthorpe Brook
Works to strengthen the banks of Lubbesthorpe Brook
Inclusion of drainage channels down Lubbesthorpe bridle path adjacent to the pavilion building to alleviate flooding issues
Drainage work to the entrance of Mossdale Meadows car park to drain water from the car park into the brook since the car park entrance is prone to frequent flooding during prolonged and intensive rain fall.
