NIDP FLOODING PROJECT

Ushaw Moor

We are currently undertaking a Stage One Northumbria Intergrated Drainage Partnership (NIDP) study in Ushaw Moor. This involves the collection, collation and analysis of existing flooding data from all sources to define issues and opportunities for integrated working between Northumbrian Water, the Environment Agency and the Local Authority. Stage One allows us to identify all of the flooding issues in a drainage catchment, whether these are sewer flooding, surface water flooding from overland flow or flooding from watercourses and rank them in order of priority based on the number of homes they impact.

Good morning.

I wanted to let everyone know that in the coming weeks we will have surveyors out in Ushaw Moor, mostly in the areas of Temperance Terrace, Broom Crescent, Pringle Place and Scripton Gill. They are going to be accessing drains and sewers under the road surface to inspect them with video cameras. And in some instances, we also will be asking to look at the pipes and drains around people's homes to see where exactly they lead. This will really help us better understand the causes of flooding within your community.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment here or you can "contact us" at the top of the page.
