A £2.5m Anglian Water project will improve drainage in Goxhill, Lincolnshire. The flood alleviation work will see 22 locations removed from the flood risk register and could result in a planning moratorium on the area being lifted.
Water company spokesman Antony Innes said: “The project will see over two kilometres of new sewer pipes built to increase the capacity of the network and reduce the risk of surface water flooding.”
The project has been designed together with a working group including the Environment Agency, the Internal Drainage Board and local councils and is due for completion next spring.
