    £50m flood defence scheme opens in Leeds

    Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:00

    By News X @sunriseradiouk

    A £50m flood alleviation scheme in Leeds which uses moveable weir technology – a first for flood risk reduction in the UK – was opened yesterday, 4 October.

    The first phase of the award-winning Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme not only uses state-of-the-art flood defence engineering techniques but is one of the largest river flood alleviation schemes in the country.

    Led by Leeds City Council in partnership with the Environment Agency, the scheme will provide more than 3,000 homes, 500 businesses and 300 acres of development land with increased protection against flooding from the River Aire and Hol Beck.
