Visitors to the site will have noticed this week (w/c 17th June 2013) that the Environment Agency have started work around repairing the barrier bank, where it had started slipping last October.

Rawcliffe Meadows EA flood bank repair site June 2013

This work has included cutting an extensive swathe through the hay meadows, as well as the banks.

We’d love to tell you more, and give you advanced notice (as we have done with Yorkshire Water’s works on the site), but we only found when we saw it. We’ll hopefully put up more detail if and when we receive it. If you’d like to know more you’ll have to contact the EA at Environment Agency. Coverdale House. Amy Johnson Way. Clifton Moor.
