Aller Drove – works to reduce flood risk
The
first part of this work will now begin the week commencing Monday 29
September (postponed from 15th) and will include raising the existing road and constructing a
new kerb on the north side of Aller Drove.
Aller Drove will be closed from 07:00 to 19:00
Monday to Saturday for approximately four weeks. The road will be open
during the evenings and on Sundays to reduce disruption. If we are able
to complete work earlier than 19:00 some days, we will post an update
on the Wessex Facebook page and on Twitter to let people know access is
clear.
Allermoor Spillway - update
Some repair work
on Allermoor Spillway is already completed. The installation of the
concrete beams along the top of the spillway and a large section of the
fibre reinforcement mat has been repaired, including a 35m2 area at the
downstream end. We have removed all the stones deposited at the base of
the spillway and stockpiled these for future use. Work to repair the
bank slippage will start this week.
Work on the embankment at Cocklemoor starts this week and will affect Bow Street and the Cocklemoor car park.
