We’ve received an update from Lincolnshire County Council’s Senior Flood Risk Officer, Ryan Davies, about ongoing work to reduce flood risk in Ruskington.
Flood Risk Modelling
- Phase 1 of the flood risk modelling project is complete.
- This phase looked at how flooding is assessed and what extra surveying is needed.
- Ryan has asked for the survey to include more local features to make the model more accurate.
- Once the survey scope is agreed, more details will be shared.
Surface Water Drainage Cleansing
- The drainage system cleaning in Ruskington is still being planned.
- Work in Leasingham took longer than expected, causing delays.
- Ryan is working with the permitting team to plan the work in phases to avoid traffic disruption.
- The goal is to complete the drainage work by the end of 2025, depending on contractor availability.
What This Means for You
- These updates show that progress is being made behind the scenes.
- The modelling will help identify flood risks more accurately.
- The drainage work will help reduce surface water flooding in the village.
