Derringham

1. When would the work start?

Construction will start in Autumn 2023 but will be holding customer drop- ins prior to any schemes starting and letters will be sent out to all residents informing them of works

2. What work is taking place currently in my area?

We are currently undertaking some physical works as part of surveys, which will include drilling trial holes around the area. There may be some minor disruptions to walkways but impact to roads should be minimal.

Green spaces adjacent to or in proximity to Moorhouse Road, Coventry Street and Manor Rd will start work in November 2023.

The works proposed involve creating some simple storage areas consisting of a dry basin in the green open spaces to the rear of your properties. These will take and store water in times of excessive rainfall. At present the low spots, where water flows to and ponds, is frequently property as the thresholds are lower than adjacent roads. The 10fts will be reprofiled and used to channel water from the road to the green spaces where the water would be safely held and discharged at a slow rate once the receiving system has the capacity.

3. Will there be any disruptions to traffic routes?

Some partial road closure will be in place, however we will inform residents in advance and ensure clear directions are signposted

4. How long will the work take?

We anticipate the work will take no longer than 6 months from the start of the scheme build.

5. What is surface water flooding?

Surface water flooding happens when rainwater does not drain away through the normal drainage systems or soak into the ground, but lies on or flows over the ground instead, causing potential risks of flooding to properties.

6. Who is responsible for the scheme?

The scheme will be a Living with Water scheme, meaning the parties involved in the Partnership (Yorkshire Water, Hull City Council, Environment Agency, East Riding of Yorkshire Council) would be responsible for parts of or all of the works.

7. Will it cost me any money?

The scheme will not cost the resident any money. It is funded through the Living with Water Partnership which in turn has received money from the government to put in place schemes to provide blue and green infrastructure in Hull to mitigate flooding.

8. Will it affect my parking?

Some parking spaces may be closed off for short period to allow plant machinery access, but will be reinstated as quick as possible, to minimise disruption.

9. Will it affect playgrounds and recreational areas?

We are looking to utilise areas such as large playing fields as detention basins so that they can be used to store excess water during a heavy rainfall event. When there is a normal level or no rainfall then the areas can be used as normal.

10. Will you need to come into my home?

As part of ongoing surveys, there may be a request to come into or close to your property. We will at all times, write to you in advance and ensure all personnel visiting the property have the relevant ID badges and paperwork. If you have any concerns, please phone 0344 848 1099 quoting scheme code YW.203080

11. Why are you digging up various locations around Derringham?

During our CCTV investigation works, we are excavating to gain access through the gullies which will enable us to carryout the CCTV works safely, once we obtain access and carryout the CCTV investigation works we then backfill the holes.

There might be rare occasions where we might find it difficult to get access through the excavations and need to continue the following day which means the excavated hole is left safely until works can proceed the following day.

Our plan and process is still to excavate, proceed with getting all the CCTV data required, back fill and then move onto the next planned location. I will talk to our site team to make sure we liaise and update local residence if ever we need to leave an excavation for the day in order to conclude works the following day.
