正文(英文) | Press release Work paused on the Carlisle flood risk management scheme for the winterThe Environment Agency has taken the decision to temporarily pause construction of phase 1 of the Carlisle flood risk management scheme during the winter months. ![]() Since construction started in July 2019, we have encountered the wettest August and September in the last 30 years according to the Met Office. This has made working conditions for machinery and Environment Agency teams on the ground difficult for both the in river works and embankment construction. Works to date have been focussed in the Warwick Road area. The decision to pause has not been taken lightly and the Environment Agency consider it will be of greater benefit in the long run to pause rather than attempt to carry on through winter when we are likely to make little progress. Much of the plant and equipment will be moved from Melbourne Park from the end of October and will return in 2020. The change in the works timetable will not increase the flood risk to the local area. In addition to this flood scheme the Environment Agency have been preparing for the wetter winter period. Their 2019 winter readiness plans remain unchanged and include: replacing flood gates at the Caldew Maltings; control panel repairs at Little Caldew pumping station; repairs to flood embankments at Willowholme and Parham Beck; repairs to Durranhill flood storage basin; as well as regularly removing blockages and debris that would have increased flood risk. Stewart Mounsey, flood manager for Cumbria, said:
The Environment Agency can never fully protect people from future flooding, so they are asking residents at risk of flooding to prepare in advance by going online and signing up for free flood warnings. Alternatively, they can telephone the Environment Agency Floodline on 0345 988 1188 and find out what they can do to protect themselves and their property when flooding hits.
