Press release
£10 million River Aire flood defence repairs near completionA £10 million package of flood defence repairs is almost complete, and a further £3 million of funding has been secured, to make communities along the lower River Aire in Yorkshire more resilient to climate change. ![]() A crane is moved on site at Chapel Haddlesey to start work to strengthen defences The structures, including flood embankments and washlands, were damaged during heavy storms and flooding in 2019/20. The latest repairs have been completed at Poor Bank near Gowdall where concrete blocks have been installed on the embankment of a reservoir to make it more resilient to erosion. At Carlton bridge, similar steps have been taken to ensure the river bank is more resilient to flood water. This week, work began at Chapel Haddlesey where a crane has been brought in to strengthen the flood bank with sheet piling. The work is expected to take five weeks. Kimberley MacPherson, West Yorkshire Operations Manager at the Environment Agency said:
Timetable of repairs
We can never entirely eliminate the risk of flooding. There are a lot of things you can do to prepare and reduce the damage that flooding can cause. You can check your risk of flooding from rivers, surface water and reservoirs online at www.gov.uk/check-flood-risk. You can also sign up for flood warnings at www.gov.uk/sign-up-for-flood-warnings if your property is at risk of flooding. This is free a service and you’ll be alerted by phone, email or text when flooding is expected from rivers, the sea or groundwater. You can also register, update your details or cancel your account by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
