LOW lying areas of York are once again under floodwaters today after Storm Bella brought heavy rain to the River Ouse s Dales catchment. Riverside footpaths, Terry Avenue under Skeldergate Bridge, Kings Staith and parts of the St George s Field car park were all flooded by 8.30am, as these pictures show. The Kings Arms pub on Kings Staith and the Lowther are once again marooned. And the river is expected to rise a little further through the day, peaking at about 3.7 to 3.8 metres above normal summer levels by early afternoon. But fortunately, the flooding is nowhere near the scale of exactly five years ago, when hundreds of properties were inundated by floodwaters from both the Ouse and the River Foss following heavy rain over Christmas.
Scarborough Bridge to Lendal Bridge We are improving the existing flood defences here to reduce the risk of flooding to 42 homes and 15 businesses within the Marygate community of York. What we’ve done so far: • Obtained planning permission from City of York Council to improve the flood embankment in Museum Gardens • Worked closely with York Museum Trust, City of York Council and Historic England to come up with a design that not only acts as a viable flood defence, but also fits in with this much used and well-loved public space • Agreed a design that minimises the impact on the Hospitium and protects the true service tree, which is very rare and was a key concern for local people.
