Flood Alleviation and Drainage Improvements

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.
Resurfacing of Mossdale Meadows car park with tarmac.  Currently the car park consists of hardcore and stone which frequently gets washed away in heavy rain.
The above have all been included in the Council’s 2024/2025 Capital Plan.

Mossdale Meadows Flood Alleviation Work Consultation
 
 
The Town Council has been looking to undertake flood alleviation work to Mossdale Meadows due to issues in several areas with flooding.
 

Due to the costs received to undertake the work the Town Council decided to reduce the scope of the work to undertake in order of urgent priority as follows:

 

Vehicular Culvert Bridge

High Priority

Drainage repair work to car park entrance

High Priority

Work to brook bank

Medium Priority

Drainage work down Lubbesthorpe Bridle Path

Medium Priority

Tarmac and work to car park surface

Low Priority

 

The two high priority works as shown in the table above have been approved by the Policy & Resources committee on 12th September, to be undertaken, subject to funding.

The work has been reduced considerably due to the initial costs we received to do the full works we wanted to do.

 

Now we want to hear from you!

 

Does the proposed Flood Alleviation work need undertaking?

Should the Town Council be undertaking this Flood Alleviation work at this time?

Do you agree with the priority order of the work to be undertaken?

 

Head over to our Consultation page for further information and how to share your thoughts on this project with us! 

Closing date for comments to be Wednesday 31st October 2024
