Hambleton Flood Risk Management Scheme

Condensed Plans of major ‘Kiln Road’ features. (Click to Expand map)

The Environment Agency has unveiled plans for extensive works adjacent to the club, designed to reduce the risk of flooding in the area. In a nutshell, this involves raising the level of Kiln Lane by over a metre between the phone box and the club gate, and continuing with a wall between Shore Road and the marsh, southwards in the direction of Shard Bridge.

Possible negative effects are:-

  • Possible effect on parking on Kiln Lane
  • Reduced access to club land on the south side of the creek
  • Disruption during construction
  • Wasted effort when the proposed Wyre Barrage claims to mitigate upstream flood risk
  • Unknown whether this affects the flow of water in the creek
  • Club is on the ‘wet’ side of the wall, therefore no change to risk of flooding at the club

Apparently the plans have generated some opposition among local residents, and a meeting has been called, at Hambleton Village Hall on Thursday 29th November at 7pm.
