Major milestone achieved in Teesside flood schemeThe Environment Agency and Middlesbrough Council are working together on Marton West Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme in Middlesbrough. ![]() A major step in a £4.8million Teesside flood scheme has been taken as a new debris screen is lifted into place. Construction started on the joint Environment Agency and Middlesbrough Council scheme at Marton West Beck last year. It will reduce the risk of flooding from the beck, sea and surface water to nearly 500 homes in central Middlesbrough. During flooding the new scheme will hold flood water back in Marton West Beck and Albert Park, slowing the flow and reducing the impact downstream. The extended debris screen in the park will collect debris and rubbish that can cause flooding and plays a key role in reducing flood risk. As well as the new screen, which extends the already existing screen on the beck, the scheme includes new stone-clad flood walls, a new drainage system, the instalment of protective fencing, and several flood storage bunds. ![]() Schemes such as this are ‘essential’Leila Huntington, the Environment Agency’s Flood Manager in the North East, said:
The scheme is just one of many across the North East that better protect properties and businesses as part of a £132million six year investment programme to create or improve flood and coastal defences in the region. A further £5.2billion government investment package has been secured to deliver 2,000 schemes across the country, better protecting 336,000 properties between 2021 and 2027. Councillor Dennis McCabe, Middlesbrough Council’s Executive Member for Environment and Commercial Services, added:
Delighted to see scheme moving forwardThe contractor working on the project is BMMJV, a joint venture between BAM Nuttall and Mott MacDonald. Katie Fraser, Project Manager for BMMJV, said:
The Marton West Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme project information has been translated into eight languages including Arabic; Bengali; Czech; Polish; Punjabi; Romanian; Tamil; and Urdu. To find out if you are living in a flood risk area and for more information visit the ‘what to do in a flood’ page People can also contact the project team by sending an email to martonwestbeck@environment-agency.gov.uk It’s expected the scheme will be complete by the end of this spring.
