Work began again briefly as mentioned in the last post. Water was pumped from the site into a ditch newly dug nearby and leading to Seacourt Stream.
River levels have now risen further. Pumping has stopped and the site is again abandoned.
Were it a car park it would be unusable of course.
This post will be updated periodically (see photos).
Work resumed on 7 January 2020. This latest flood was another 18 days, taking total flooding of the site this winter to 6 weeks 5 days. The prediction in the planning application was for 2 weeks a year. It remains to be seen how it averages out over a number of years.
