Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) is continuing work on a £6 million flood alleviation scheme in Goole.

The contractor is delivering the scheme to protect around 30 homes from sewer flooding in and around the Attlee Drive area.

With new larger sewers already laid in Kennedy Drive and parts of Attlee Drive and Churchill Walk, work is now underway to install a new storage tank that is capable of holding the equivalent amount of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool.

Member of Parliament for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy, recently visited the site to view progress on the project and meet with MMB representatives.

He said: "I'm pleased to see the progress on what is a vital project for Goole which will reduce the risk of flooding to dozens of homes. The sheer scale of the work going on behind the hoardings is incredible and I hope to return again once it's finished later this year."

The whole scheme is expected to be completed by the end of this year, with further work to be carried out along Fifth Avenue and Attlee Drive.
