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.

Originally the Town Council was proposing to include all the following work:

1. To remove existing vehicular culvert bridge over brook and to replace vehicular culvert bridge with single box culvert including raising the stone turning area by the bridge
2. Undertake works to the brook banks
3. Drainage work to the entrance of Mossdale Meadows car park to drain water from the car park into the brook as the car park entrance was prone to frequent flooding that was raised during the Walking & Cycling route construction
4. Resurfacing of Mossdale Meadows car park with tarmac and repair of broken kerbstones and installing suitable fencing between car park kerb edge and brook
5. Inclusion of drainage channels down the Lubbesthorpe bridle path adjacent to the pavilion building to alleviate flooding issues in the workshop

However, due to the costs received to undertake all this, the Town Council decided to reduce the scope of the work to undertake in order of urgent priority as follows:

The two high priority works as shown in the table above have been approved by the Policy & Resources committee on 12^th 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?
