正文(英文) | Press release New Northumberland flood scheme completeThe Environment Agency and Port of Blyth have worked together to build a £600,000 flood wall to protect homes and businesses in Blyth. ![]() A major new £600,000 flood scheme which protects homes and businesses in a Northumberland town from tidal flooding is complete. The previous 180m flood wall in the Cowpen area of Blyth has been upgraded and extended to create a 380m wall to reduce the risk of flooding to the town. When taking climate change into account these new defences, from Crawford Street to Quay Road, will protect over 1,000 properties into the future while also offering immediate improved protection from tidal flooding to 58 properties. The work has been funded by the Environment Agency but was built by Port of Blyth as part of their wider redevelopment of the adjacent Bates and Wimbourne Quay terminals. While the Environment Agency has advised on the specifications and design of the flood wall, the Port of Blyth will own and maintain the wall. The Environment Agency will carry out annual inspections of the new structures. ‘Great example’ of effective partnershipLeila Huntington, the Environment Agency’s Flood Risk Manager for the North East, said:
Alan Todd, Port Director at the Port of Blyth, added:
A Flood Warning service is available for Blyth residents considered to be at risk of flooding, one for the North Sea at Blyth and another for the North Sea at Blyth Town Centre. To check if you are at risk of flooding and to sign up for free flood warnings call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 or visit the gov.uk website
