A question "Does the River Park Project include a plan to prevent the regular flooding of the pedestrian and cyclists' underpass alongside the Avon between Waitrose and the city centre?" received this response from the Environment Agtency today:
"This underpass is owned by, and the responsibility of National Highways. The Environment Agency has no involvement in the maintenance of this underpass. The first phase of the River Park scheme, which we are delivering, does not include any works to this underpass. However, we are working with National Highways and Wiltshire Council on a separate project that is looking to improve this underpass and should address the regular flooding issues there. I don’t know yet though when this will be delivered but further information should be available shortly.
