Phoenix Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 If Leeds city centre came within centimetres of flooding in 2000 and had numerous near misses, shouldn't something have been done then? Cameron wasn't PM in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Derwent in town is high this morning - the underpass by the Bridge Inn at Chester Green is flooded and the Silk Mll is only a couple of feet away from flooding. The big weir in the River Gardens has all but disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big weir in the River Gardens has all but disappeared I work right next to that. Which underpass? The one that leads up behind the Dolphin or the one for buses? (on either side of the river) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry - I meant the cycle path underpass, not the road. The one between the two road underpasses that you mention It goes under the bridge which has the Bridge Inn on one side and the Bridge Chapel on the other, it comes out at the back of the Silk Mill museum and runs parallel to the road underpass that goes up to the Dolphin. It's a wooden boardwalk under that bridge and then a concrete path under the ring road. The wooden bit was under about 2 foot of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 My office is at Staunton Harold - so my daily commute takes me over Swarkestone Bridge and over the Trent. Needless to say, its looking a bit soggy in the fields, and the Trent looks about 3 miles wide.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
