Ovingham

We are working together with the community to reduce the risk of future flooding in areas of Ovingham through our Rainwise initiative.

Update by Anthony Birkett

Hi Everyone

You probably noticed that we finished our work around Horsley Road and Main Road. This was a lot quicker than expected, which we were pleased about!

Simon is now busy closing the site and removing our compound from the area. We should be completely off site by the end of this week.

We would like to thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time.

We will be back in the area in the future, but will ket you know when and how it will affect you nearer the time.

I've attached a few photographs showing the reinstatements as they were last week when I was last on site. You can see the basin we created on the playing fields and the basin we create by Dene Garth have been landscaped and seeded, but the seed may not germinate at this time of year. If that is the case, we will return in spring to try again.

Bye for now!

Tony
