Environmental Agency Article:
The £13 million scheme to cut flood risk to hundreds of properties in Wakefield is moving into its next phase.
This week work begins to install two additional culverts on Ings Beck to increase capacity under Westgate at Maudeline Bridge.
At present, the structure is too small to carry the flow of water during a flood and part of the culvert’s roof is so damaged that it could collapse.
The Environment Agency scheme will help to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 700 homes and businesses from Ings Beck, as well as cutting the flood risk from other watercourses, including the River Calder, Balne Beck and Alverthorpe Beck.
