The second phase of flood alleviation scheme works were suspended at Hull since the end of last year. The works have been stopped due to unfavorable climatic conditions and are expected to restart from the next month, said the council chiefs. However, there might be further delay to resume the works in case the wet conditions continue further.
The Cottingham and Orchard Park Alleviation Scheme undertaken by Esh being the main contractor rolls out with measures of building a series of lagoons to protect local residents from flooding.
