The flow through Monksleaze Clyce is
being reduced and is operating within ‘normal’
parameters, reducing flows through the Sowy and King
Sedgemoor Drain system.
Due to improving
conditions and the reduced flow through the Sowy, the large temporary
pumps at Beer Wall (A372) near Aller are no longer needed and have
now been removed. The A372 will
remain closed after the pumps are removed so that SCC Highways can undertake an assessment of the flood damage
and carry out emergency repair works to ensure the road is
safe for users.
Rivers Parrett and Tone Dredging
Project
EA remain on target to start dredging
by the end of March 2014, provided water levels
continue to drop, and the banks and adjacent land are dry enough for
contractors’ machinery to work safely. The dredging work will start on a stretch of the River Parrett at
Moorland House Farm. Plant will arrive on site from next Wednesday,
26 March.
Latest news (20/3) from the EA is here.
