Major milestone achieved in Teesside flood scheme
The Environment Agency and Middlesbrough Council are working together on Marton West Beck Flood Alleviation Scheme in Middlesbrough.
From:
11 March 2021
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.
