Installation of fixed gates at the following
flood-prone highways across the borough of Doncaster:
• Thorpe Bank, Thorpe in Balne
• Denaby Lane, Old Denaby
• Pastures Road, Pastures Lane & Melton Lane, Denaby
• Fishlake Nab, Fishlake
• Doncaster Road to Greys Bridge, Denaby
The gates will be installed to reduce the risk and consequences of
flooding, preventing vehicles
from entering floodwaters and minimising road closures. This
project is crucial in reducing the
impact of frequent flooding events, improving road safety, and
decreasing disruption to road users
and emergency services. The funding will be allocated towards the
delivery of the scheme,
addressing long-term challenges posed by increasing flood events
and helping to alleviate road
closures that currently clash with other maintenance works, leading
to delays and complaints.
